Try this for a laugh.

So I was in my driveway, as one of the wifes customers for daycare comes up to get his kid.
"Working on the FIat again huh?" he says.
"Nope" says I, "Just topping off the oil for my horn".........
The look on his face was priceless. :D
Some folks just don't get it.

That's hilarious! I wonder if he'd fall for the rotating the air in his tires routine.

Maybe the later model owners didnt get it. I went to a lot of effort to install an early set of air horns. The car just aint right without that air horn sound. What I did find was the shorter horn comes in 2 different lengths. This gave me the choice of the pair being separated by a whole or half pitch.

Love the early air horn.
That piercing sound shocks the crap out of the idiots that decide it's OK to cut off my classic car. :twisted:

Exactly the same sound as the horns on the "choke and puke" catering trucks that visit most construction sites around here. So...you guessed it, as I drive by construction sites, I slow down, tap the horn twice (beep, beep) and watch them drop their tools looking for the junk truck.

Nasty but priceless!

Guys like me, get their kicks in weird ways.
That's why I luv my Fiat!

We would tell people we had ''saved'' their compressor. Still pretty funny how you presented that.
