Our horn language:

Beep beep - Thank you
Beep - Hello!
Beep beep beep beep... - I'm in a hurry, please yield.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEP - YOU loving starfish WHO TAUGHT YOU TO DRIVE?!

And

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEP : *dead*

I have a loud horn and can beep accordingly. We also flash lights in similar patterns.

I'm talking about the difference of someone coming up behind you and screaming rather than just going "hey" quietly

[e-maxx]

I've only used the horn on my jag once
mainly because its the loudest horn I've ever heard
it's like HEEENNNNNNNNK HEENNNNNNNNNK

I almost never use horns for anything.

this 1989 Ford Flatbed towtruck my family had had one of the weakest horns, you could barely hear it from inside the truck, it was a soprano ahhhhhp kind of horn. also its funny how Japanese my horn sounds, it is the most stereotypical EEEEE you can imagine, same for the Celica convertible

[Zloff]

if it's safe to drive with one hand i'll blast my horn when appropriate. i probably do more often than most, now that i think about it

But that's just a fancy looking 50/125cc moped

i was thinking it was p cool until i looked it up and ur right wow

My usual opinion is older is better, but I actually like the newer Corolla wagon gen better than that one

or if its going to be that gen, make it a 4x4 all trac corolla, the ugliest wagon in history


also, auto trans is nah, If it was a 5 speed i'd be more enthusiastic

but on the topic of grandma driven cars, my grandma is the only owner of a 2000 crv, it has less than 40,000 miles on it, looks like it just rolled off the factory line because it spent the majority of the last 16 years in a garage, looks like this

tfw you push quote and not modify

I could say one more thing, that corolla wagon looks to be the most base model one possible, maybe another reason I think that its definetly not worth 4000$ is because it has no personality at all, not design wise and not customization wise that car would blend in like a chameleon, If I bought it, I'd want to do some cosmetic upgrades, "make it mine" because right now its a Corolla and that's all. I don't know what it is about me, but I like to be unique on the road, I like the feeling of being the only person in my town to own a Camry Wagon. Like sure, I could drive a Corvette or a Grand Prix GXP, or a BMW, but all of those cars have stereotypes and thoughts associated with them, and you'd not only be a ghost, you'd be a "BMW Driver" so I like cars that come completely out of left field, ones you notice going down the road not because they're flashy, but because you've either never seen one before, or its been years since you have. Half of my friends know its me when I drive down the road because they've never seen another Camry Wagon besides mine in their whole lives.

im weird, I admit it

It's fun driving a rear wheel drive sedan with a truck engine because it makes drifting and donuts possible.

the 1982-1985 Celica line shared the 22re engine with the Pickup truck line at the time, they're pretty slow, but what you said is true
