Well got donut ,and one albertan who cant read no right turn !$$#@!! :o saskatchewan who thinks red means punch it #%$%$! :o and to top it of two minutes from home and elligal 4 lane highway crossing in front of me !$$!$!@# :angry: .I'll be glad when the tourists leave but I was wondering has anyone try mounting sidewinder missiles or at least a horn loud enough to really get someone attention you know make them SH!@ ther pants [_[ .

I could probably find a regular truck airhorn for you!

luckily it was just our POS yank tank and not someones pride and joy. the van is screwed, you can't open the back doors anymore, which makes loading and unloading a bit difficult. the dude's honda was folded!!! if he had nailed a beetle or a splitty......... :ph34r:

Post by: slugbug on August 30, 2004, 06:00:24 PM: Train horns sound like a good idea :wacko: There are so many idiots on the roads these days, that we need to think of installing some defense mechanisms on our cars. What about some of those James bond gizmo's such as oil slicks, and tire shredders that pop out of the hubcaps :rockon: Ramps attached to the front and rear bumpers, so the fools will fly right over us. Oh and one of those boxing gloves attached to a spring for when they get a little too close. And a rice cooker :D

Post by: red snapper on August 31, 2004, 12:28:35 PM: Marty, dont you just feel better talking about it? You have always had a problem with bad drivers and it has rubbed off on me as well. Its just too easy for people to get licenses. Go to Richmond and see for yourself.
