Almost a "Perfect Storm."

[Cougar Vibe]

I just get done yappin' on a thread about how perfect my front bumper cover is and alas, everything almost went down the crapper today. Not gonna get longwinded here, but it all came together: Walmart parking lot (ugh, hate Walmart), old lady in a Buick, disabled parking spot and a cell phone. The women even had the stereotypical "non-human" shade of tint to her hair. Now I'm just going down the lane...trying to escape Chinamart, when she decides she's going to whip her landyacht right into a parking spot without any regard for me or anyone else. And naturally, that freakin' cell is attached to her wig. So I hit the horn (not quite tugboat quality, eh?) and slam on the brakes. She, to her credit, stopped her car just in the nick of time; but then she throws me this Wilfred Brimley frown...crazy. So I put it in park, get out, thump my finger on her coffin window and yell "Get the $@&* off the phone!" Now in hindsight, maybe it was a little road-ragey (sic?), but it kills me that this lady probably got her license during the Eisenhower administration and yet somehow thinks she has both the dexterity and mental focus to yap and drive at the same time. Okay, rant off. I'm gonna go tie old tires around my cars now...

You aren't getting noticed like you should.. I was having the same problem, in fact, I didn't even have a working horn... So, I fixed the problem... The only problem is, you likely would have gotten the gas slammed and things gone differently... lolDisclaimer: these horns where not installed for scaring little blue haired ladies into heart attacks, no matter what you think... lol... one set is defeatable, via a switch... lol..

Come to think of it, I got my driver's license during the Eisenhower administration.On my about once a month stops at Walmart I try to park away from the regulars. The alternative risk of doing this is being held up in the parking lot, especially if it is after 9 in the evening. Their security does not seem to think the parking lot is part of their responsibility.
