I actuall saw a car (it was a jetta) that honked whenever the driver pressed on the brake. I can imagine the hilarity that ensued...

I had a similar experience w/my Buick. Apprenently one of the pressure sensors in the steering wheel went bad and just started going off at the slighest touch and/or jolt/vibration from driving. Unfortunetly my horn sensors are bundled w/my air bag which is like 5 or 6 hundred to replace so I just pulled the fuse to the horn. I'm planning on rigging a kill switch to the horn out of the fuse box, so I can at least have a horn when I need one, but I've never gotten around to it.

i have to confess. when i originally read this title, i thought it said "my car honks itself". and thus... i thought the car masturbated...


i really need sleep.

Uhh you'll regret that when someone is not paying attention and about to back into you or hit your car. I've used my horn numerous times when people started changing lanes into me or were backing out of a parked spot.
