Had a fender bender with my 99 SE-L 2 days ago. Dummy in front of me
signals a left and gets in the turn lane. As I pull up beside he changes
his mind and swerves into my lane at 45 violently enough for me to note he
rocked it on the suspension.

Is there a way to put a REALLY loud horn on my max? The tinny sounding horn
just does not get enough respect here in Atlanta, the home of stupid
overagressive drivers.

Try a set of air horns which are powered by a small compressor. They
are easy to fit. These horns are popular in Europe but you don't hear
then at all in the US.

It seems the culture in the US is not to blow your horn. Contrast that
with Italy where they blow their horns almost incessantly. When they
are angry, when they are happy, when they want to attract attention,
and for fun. Many horns play elaborate tunes, Colonel Bogey (a UK
favorite).

The horn is simply connected by a pair of wires. Buy a bigger electric
horn (I think many retailers sell them) and put in bigger wires and
you're all set.

Maybe a few well placed shots from a .45acp might get their attention.
