I've gotten used to people honking when I pass them, even if it's safe and legal at the time, especially if they have their windows down. When you spray FIPK-filtered VTEC all over them as you go by, it has a way of bunching up panties.

I installed twin compressor driven air horns on my car which makes my horn 2x as loud as anything on the road. If someone honks at me I let em have it.

I was right next to a truck cab yesterday when he started to slow down and the truck made the engine brake noises...ugh it was so loud.
That's not so bad, what's worse is when the trucks braking system does that loud psshhhh noise, almost as bad as a horn.

It's so scary I think I might not drive with the top down anymore.

Judging by the finger they usually hold up, I'd guess they're less than enthusiastic.

If my dad is in the passengers seat then it's no so bad, but my dad can't always drive around with me....this sucks!

What else can I do so I'm not so scared?
