Default Ghey AU horns

The horns in my Forte are a bit ghey, as they say. (Not that there's anything wrong with that).

I lent on the horn the other day and I was laughed at by a female Kia driver

Did the Fairmont's have more manly vocal chords? I wan't something to get that Kia driver back with.

I've never thought about that much before. Now I sit and ponder for a bit, I recognise that I actually hear both tones in the higher spec models. Quite a nice sound actually.

Go to SCA and get some air horns for $40. Turn you car into a man.

Surprised they still sell air horns. Talk about stuck in 1984. Do they still play La Cucaracha? Had air horns on an old XD back in the day. I thought they were cool, but everyone had moved on in 85.

Go to your local wrecker and get the horns of pretty much any Euro car. It was so embarrassing the TE50's horn being out muscled by a Ford KA.
