What the heck is this, you say? Well as Cortez' car was being towed off, Cortez and some others yelled 'Goodbye' to the car.... and the car started honking back!! As if to say 'Bye Dad! See you later!'

Brings a tear to me eye...

That's incredible. Maybe there is a real bond between Dave and his car. Maybe these sports cars really do have a soul. Maybe I should stop this before I scare myself.

That was too damn funny!



Btw, what tool did you use to creat the .exe file? That's a great way to send videos around!

Could this perhaps be a candidate for America's Funniest Home Video's?!?! Could Dave and Keith possibly profit from such a tragedy? You never know!

Gosh, I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I watch this...but then, when I hear Keith laugh, it makes me LOL!!!

For some reason the horn doesn't sound the same in the video but it's still funny. Makes it sound more pitiful. I wonder if the driver drove all the way back to Knoxville with it sounding like that or if he pulled over and tried to fix it. I can imagine other people on the road looking around as the truck drove by.

beep beep "Look at me, look at me" beep beep "I'm Ok, I'm OK"

Unfortunately the translation to that EXE file costs some video and audio quality.

That technology belongs to Mack if you want to ask him about it.
