My company truck does not have a real air horn

Wait wait! They are making a fresh batch for me. Gimme a sec, I'm always in for a good yarn.

 

Confident? No way. Just slightly less disappointed. I do like a good story, though.

 

Continually cracking oil pans, (had to replace 4 times, or after each oil change)

leaking head gaskets, (had to be replaced 2 times at at the dealership, lost truck for about 6 months total)

power steering pump 3 times

exhaust stack had to be removed, catalyst had to be super heated and cleaned at a special shop, (lost truck for 1 month)

head cracked about 3 months after last head gasket, (lost truck for 4 months)

Did any of you have pie with your coffee?

 

Man...I expected something with Dragons, heroes, villains and a side of popcorn. Kind of anticlimactic.

Nah. Watching my sweets intake. Did enjoy the fish at the ta I'm stopped at though...

 

The truck and engine WERE the dragon. The hero was ME putting up with all that crap. The villains were the mechanics that couldn't screw in a light bulb, let alone work on a truck. The side of pop corn, I couldn't have any, as I ran out of dental floss!

 

We need to start a thread on stupid #### that supposedly knowledgeable trainers tell noobs!

 

It is pathetic for an horn but it also has an little bit of a shrill/obnoxious tone to it that makes it fun to harass cars with. The Cascadia has more of a relaxed deeper tone that isn't too offensive. Not offensive enough IMO. I used to drive this little old 2 axle international day cab around Brooklyn when I worked for ABF and still miss that air horn it had. The noise that came out of that thing when you gave the cord a sharp tug or two was totally epic and made people want to run for cover, especially when it reverberated off building walls or if you were under an overpass. Had that really nasty dual tone sound very similar to a freight train.

 

I hate the people who cross after the don't walk light is lit so I use my air horn and watch the Starbuck's cups fly.

 

Caynnor! We are professiona...aww who am I kiddng. That's funny. Starbucks is #### coffee anyways...

 

Gotta love kids asking for the air horn! One of the log trucks I used to drive had a set of train horns. Driving down a 2-lane one afternoon there was a kid...couldn't have been more than 5 or 6...playing in a yard. His arm started pumping up & down when he saw me coming, and I wasn't going to disappoint. I reached over and cracked the valve for them train horns and I've never seen a kid jump so high in all my life before he took off running for the house. Guess he got a little more than he'd been expecting.
