Sorry I''ve been absent lately lots of junk going on up in Salmon Arm lately how have you all been doing? :mellow:  Entered a 60 car show event at local museum today and met some NICE people. Thought I'd cap the day of with a cruise in the van, and earn brownie points picking up wife a toffeeeeeeee! donut  :D . 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  [_[ . Let me hear some other Ideas to deal with ignorant SOB'S.
Consider it mental therapy on me .

As strange as it may sound I have found that slowing down and letting them take each other out has been most satisfying, nothing like seeing two albertans swapping insurance info at an intersection in Burnaby!

I have installed train horns on a couple Peterbilts recently, when you put 130-150 psi straight from the shop airline into the horn....woohoo!!! scares the shit out of anyone in the building (including the boss in the office!) I could probably find a regular truck airhorn for you!

last saturday the bass player from my band brought our tour van to airspeed so we could look over the exhaust.  he was waiting to turn into the parking lot and BANG!!!!  rear ended.  so considering the blue book on the van is about $700, we're pretty sure ICBC is going to write it off!!  how can you not notice a huge blue van in the middle of the road!!!!!

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:

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

Lucky me, today I was rear ended on the freeway in my bus, little damage (good german engineering) bad back now, off work for a week. Stupid kids driving too fast and following too close.

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.
