Re: What's your pet peeve?

In N.Carolina, if you live on the outer banks, your license plate's prefix is "OBX". You can only get that if your residence is actually on the outer banks.

One of my biggest triggers...not using signals. I honk at all of the inconsiderate morons.

We really couldn't share the road. I don't use signals all the time - if i am in a turn only lane you can figure it out yourself - and I seriously hate people who honk. I have slowed to a near crawl once when a lady was rushing through and honking like she owned the road. What was funny is once i started driving again she sped around in front of me, and slowed down to a near crawl, which didn't bother me but I found hilarious as she was now slowing herself down.

I never honk out of impatience or trying to get through traffic quicker. I only do it when someone pulls a jackass move in front of me. Cut me off, you're getting at least 10 seconds of horn. Swerve all over the road without signaling...horn. Don't see me because you're on your phone. They're going to hear my horn on the other end.

I've always wanted to "upgrade" to one of those air horns in the JC Whitney catalog. I've always had my eye on the "ocean liner" horn. That will get their attention.

If you want it loud it has to be an air horn those electric ones are not very loud. Here these will get the people out of your way. They maned one "wake the dead" and it should at $1400.

Wow.

I always loved the idea of getting behind someone and blowing an ocean liner horn..."WHAT WAS THAT!?!?!"

Re: What's your pet peeve?

They should just remove car horns. Half the time you can't even figure out who is honking at who anyway.

Re: What's your pet peeve?

I can't stand pickup trucks with a set of balls hanging off it.

Might as well just slap a big sticker on your truck saying "Yep, I'm a total douchebag".

In a lot of cases it looks like the balls are worth more than the truck.
