    Don't care what time of day or where I'm at, I would blow the horn. Whether just a little toot or a big blast then the time of day or location might make a difference.

    I was feeling a little down a while back when I passed a woman with a little girl getting their mail from their mailbox on a rural two lane. The girl gave me the arm pump and I laid on the horn. Little girl's smile and wave made my day and even mom smiled and waved.

    Those moments are when I wish I had a set of train horns, instead of a fleet horn.

    Lil truckin etiquette 101 for the rookies. If that youngin is doin that arm pump deal let it rip tater chip. You are duty bound to do so. Mom, Dad, cuz in Fi Fi I don’t care will figure it out. You’re not gonna put a family to death or an old timer in the heart attack room.

    Train horn can be used as more than just a lane changer, make a kid's day, maybe even trigger a karen while I'm at it :)

    I’ll give the horn of course... but sadly I drive an International with the air horn button on the steering wheel so it’s just not the same.

    Plus, I can never seem to find that #### button when I’m under pressure! I always end up aggressively turning the engine brake on and off.
