    Default Open Season on Miatas?

    ...and across the line.

    Stebel Nautilus compact electric air horn FTW!

    I have one on my daily driver (wired up parallel to the factory horn) and it has definitely saved me from more than one altercation. Just yesterday I had two fkhedz trying to merge into the same lane, which I currently occupied... I laid on the horn, floored it, and got out from between them. They both thought better of trying to share my lane with me.

    They are relatively light and can be mounted just about anywhere that will keep it dry. Just relay into your existing horn wiring and tap the battery and you're GTG with 130+ dB of ball busting dual-tone goodness.

    The real TCB way is to get one of those horns from the big GM cars/trucks in the junk yard. Most of the big cars come with 2 big horns. My son got one for less than $5 and is louder and deeper than my air horn.
