New idea! Traffic related.

So we've all been there in one way or another. someone said boogity boogity boogity in spokane last night and everyone was passing me, thats fine since i had a loaded truck and trailer.

But for the love of god! dont cut loaded trucks off! i mean these idiots were passing me and cutting within 10 ft of me. talk about wanting to peg them since blowing your horn gets no response or the middle finger.


So i came up with this idea... a paintball gun mounted in the front bumper, set up to fire when you have an auxiliary switch on and you blow the horn. lol

I've been thinking of doing that for years... My original thought was to hide everything and have the barrel stick out by the fog lights.

Really the only reason I haven't is that I don't want to get shot or end up in jail.

I've also thought about just carrying some loose paintballs to toss out the sun roof to get those tailgaters off my bumper!

My 100W's behind the grille come in handy for that reason as well but only really do the trick if it's dark out.

I saw where a ricer had mounted one behind his grille once but now I can't find it. I think it was a pwned post though and someone was posting how it got him in a lot of trouble. ???

At night I can turn on my fog lights and KC daylighter all with HID's and it usually gets there attention. But during the day the only method is a TRAIN horn. Not just air horns. But train horns.

Till they slam their brakes and they get rear ended by the fool who had the train horn.

You can't win...

speaking of that, the other day on my way to the beach some guy is sitting thru a green light on his phone i lay on my horn and he doesn't go so i pass him while im passing him he is flicking me off and cussing me out all while hes on the phone, so i get in front of him and go from 45ish-0 smoke coming from my tires and that bitch swerved like crazy. i think he learned his lesson

Last fall I had my trailer attached to my truck, and I had a really long 15' extension ladder on the trailer that was 10x5. I had it sitting right on the middle of it with a flag on the end of the latter. So my truck is as long as it is, and people are trying to pass me... I had this one lady in a Sunfire try passing me, and when she was between my truck and trailer, she realized that she was almost going to get smeared by a milk truck barreling down at probably 70 mph. So she slams on her brakes, and there were 3 people behind her, and she almost causes a pileup on a country road.

But it ain't cool when you are carrying a heavy load and people in these little cars and trucks don't realize it takes a while for us heavy haulers to stop and they are playing with fire/death or serious injury passing us.

you think soemones gonna slam on there brakes because of a train horn? what happens when you shoot them with a paint ball gun? mount somthing on the front of your truck and just hit people. call it an idoit catcher. and have a bunch of embelms hanging from it like chevy and dodge. and put a "dodge this" sticker on it
