It took all night for Streetfire to "optimize" the video. Why not just tell us what format they want it in?

Oh well, it's done now.

Awesome idea! I want one for my car and motorcycle! Cali drivers are the worst when it comes to driving and using cell phones.

As an aside, do your front tints affect your Radar Detector? I understand that since it has metal particles in it it does bad stuff to Radar Detectors and TollPasses, etc ... Or did you get that Ceramic Film?

This line had me in tears. I've had the perverse fantasy of installing train horns in my car since my first car.

You the man!

None on video but lots more and lots better. I had some really great kills but my dumbazz co-pilot/video person didn't bother to tell me I was blowing the horn too late and all the kills were lost to the A-Frame. I was blowing the horn when MY view was good, this idiot didn't think I should know he couldn't get any of the shots (he has an IQ of about 160, seriously, and is dumb as a rock).

This is the best! I have laughed so hard at this and love it at the same time. Sign me up on more kill shots with the horns. Rock on and get those slow pokes out of the passing lane for me too.

Great!

Did you finally find if there was any issues with the air scoop and overheating? It seems like you're blocking a lot of the radiator like someone else mentioned ... ?

MANY years ago I had an old Ford flathead. Don't remember how I discovered this, but if I turned the ignition off and let it coast a few seconds, then turn it back on, it would backfire about on the level of an M-80. We would spot a target walking down the street and sometimes have to circle the block several times to set up the hit, but there were people hitting the ground and covering their heads, when I let her rip. No video cameras back then but I share the thrill of scaring the cr*p out of people. Must be some kind of SICKIE.

Looks like you have some competition. I don't think his horns are as cool though.

That's one of the original videos. Hornblasters.com is like the site that started this mess of train horns on cars.

Yeah, that's who I bought them from; really nice guys and they were really helpful finding someone to install them. Their videos are much better than mine, they have the resolution perfect for Streetfire.

Wow this reminds me of my jeepin days before my Z. I had a PA speaker hooked up to a CB radio in my car. Much cheaper than this stuff too. Stick the PA speaker in the Grill and the CB radio wired to the inside of your car and you can talk out of the speaker. I only had a $20 radioshack speaker and it scared the $hit out of people! It's fun just cruising around town clowning people, and it would be even better in the Z cuz theyd never catch me if they got mad!
