- "Immediate reversal". Amen to that. I was seriously thinking of the same
- thing for my Merkur (Fords must have shitty horns by default) for all the
- dipshit pedestrians here who barge out into the streets without looking.
- Dumb f*ckers oughta be glad there's laws making it a crime to run folks over
- no matter how stupid they are- any time you blow a horn at someone about
- to walk in front of your moving vehicle, and they suddenly wake out of their
- stupor and jump back like they've been electrocuted, you've got a prime
- candidate for Automotive Darwinism.

- "Immediate reversal". Hrmph- I want it loud enough for "immediate cardiac
- arrest."
