''This horn is SO courteous my car was granted Canadian citizenship yesterday.''

Air horns are pretty easy to modulate by hand. They can go from a cute toot to a serious warning blast, which is why I like them.

These are the best. https://www.thompson-automotive.com/Air_Horn.html
They don't fail like the Nautilus.

Miatas come with a single high pitched horn. It's like those old Suzuki Samurai commercials when it just goes beep, beep.

I always changed out the stock horn for a stebel nautilus compact air horn.

I wish there was a way to get more volume without having to have a huge compressor, tank and horns. I'd love for the Boxster to be REALLY loud.

I also think a car horn that sounded like skidding tires would be VERY attention getting.

Get the Hella Supertones. I've got them on my pickup. They're attention getters.

I finally got around to watching the video. I love it. I don't have the space, but I'd love to do that.

Being a bit of a geek, I love the R2D2 sound, and the fact that you can upload sounds from a computer. I can already see some of the stuff that's going through some of your minds on that one.
