playing the lesbian card for stars on a largely male dominated site....

clever grrl.

I honestly love me a good van. Vans are honest, hard working and serve a purpose. People who buy vans do a lot of research and have strong preferences for what van they want. I’m partial to the Kansas City produced Ford Transit, and I was very happy when Ford put the old reliable Econoline out to pasture and arrived…

Separate and a different color. Americans need all the help they can get.

What do you expect from a place that still allows red turn signals?

Price is an excuse. The same people that won’t pony up the money for working lights always have money for trucknutz and the minimum 5 pieces of “patriotic” flair.

I don’t know why we see so few really novel utility taillight designs in America,

Driver runs a red light but the loud horn driver is the problem?

Agreed - train horns on cars are idiotic, but a good, loud, sharp horn on a tiny car is pretty much a necessity. I have Hella air horns on my Spitfire and they have woken up stupid people many times in the 20+ years they have been on the car.

I’m in a stock height Fiat 500 Abarth, and have almost been run over by people in stock height trucks.

Hell, my stock height B8 S4 has had the same thing happen with stock height trucks. Modern trucks and SUVs are simply too big, and have far too many blind spots.

Loud horn is a great idea. Wish I’d had one when I had my Miata (RIP, little green car 2009-2015). Every morning, I had some pickup or merging sedan nearly run into me. Sure, it’s a small car, but check your blind spots!

Watch it again. The SUV abruptly turns the wheel harder and ends up in the break down lane.

Train horns are obnoxious, but I fully support scaring the shit out of people that drive like assholes and make risky moves because they are impatient. Whenever someone cuts me off by making a last second dive bomb left into a driveway instead of waiting for me to pass through or someone is obviously running a red…

My Miata has a VERY loud horn. Not quite train horn but it will wake you up if I honked it in your driveway at 3am.

I have a 2020 Mini Clubman, it’s lowered a couple inches, but just so there’s only about a half inch of wheel gap. So it’s not slammed, it’s not a ‘small’ car in the traditional sense, but I’ve almost been hit 3 times by idiots in lifted trucks that don’t even look when changing lanes. I’m glad I have front and rear…

I have some Hella high/lows on my Miata and its definitely prevented at least a couple accidents. Mostly lifted trucks merging or changing lanes and not looking. A train horn might be overkill, but the Hellas are loud enough to hear at least.

Train horns on cars must save as many lives as loud pipes on motorcycles.

Loud Horns Save Lives.

“Is it for sale?”

I get asked a lot of questions about my Giulia. Most common is where I got it/where I get it serviced. I reply the place that used to be a Saturn dealer, over by the mall. It’s no more exotic than a 3 series.

Seconded. Villeneuve’s movies aren’t always perfect* but right now I don’t think anyone matches his talent for visuals, and seeing anything he does on the big screen is a treat.
