While perusing E-bay, I found a "Horn Amplifier". Instead of an air horn or siren, you hook this into a weather proof speaker. The posting is
unclear about what noises it can make. But it does say "Air Horn. If you search online, you can find a switch able version that can make many of the
normal emergency vehicle sounds.

That's all well and good, but I want one that plays several hundred watts of tires braking on dry pavement.....
With the introduction of anti-lock I haven't had a good brake squealer since I got the 87 T-coupe.
Yeah, I can drag the four rear of the coach (its a light 23), but they aren't right at some fools back bumper.

When he cuts in front to make the exit, I want him to miss the exit. Horns, any horns, just aren't the same adrenaline getter.

yes indeed...when they cut in and attempt to perform the PIT maneuver on themselves, give 'em all the assistance they deserve and if they tumble off
into the weeds be sure and wave affectionately as you go by. I didn't even waste my air on John Q. Redneck in his red Dodge pickup when he tried that
crap on the interstate coming back from Dillard. This was after he had to slow from about 60 coming over the bridge when I was exiting the truck
stop.

Maintain course and speed, adjust power as necessary to carry through to the other side. Make way for those that deserve it and emergency or law
enforcement, and let the 'roo bars take care of the FUBARs.

Graham,

The T-coupe is long gone. It and the coach were never on the property in the same decade. I sure was fun while it lasted. Mine got some help from
my flow lab and a few Ford engineers I was doing testing for at the time and it had lost of SVO parts and made about half again more power than it was
out of the box.
