If you're going to drive one of the most reviled, gas-hogging vehicle brands to ever grace the American highways and tony upscale driveways of MacMansions, you might as well call attention to yourself, too. This rolling billboard advertises an "adventure" for Women Only. I guess the guy who drives it needs the pseudo-macho appearance of a military-themed SUV to get his point across and drum up business. I wonder if he wears the GI drill instructor's hat and carries a swagger stick while yelling at the 20-ish hard-body moms who can afford his camp? Just wondering.

What's a Hummer good for?

Train Horns that BLOW!
Read the copy on this colorful, graphics-covered pickup and then really let the "product" it's advertising sink in for a moment. Got it?? It is a horn that when installed in your car or truck sounds like a TRAIN!! "Train Horns For Your Ride." A TRAIN! As I quickly grabbed this shot at a traffic light, I hoped that the driver wouldn't "train" his horn on ME, just innocently idling behind him. I do remember when installing a Ford Model T horn was a favorite years ago, but the thought of a locomotive creeping up behind you and letting its full air horns go, would give some people a heart attack. The website states, "Don't Blow Your Temper, Blow Your Horn." There are a number of amateur videos on line touting the fun of using the horn out on the streets. In the name of research I watched and listened to a few of them. The horn does scare people to almost to death. It sounds like a train passing in front of you at a railroad crossing, blowing its horn, while you sit and wait. There, you are expecting the horn to blow.Does it really sound like a train horn? Yes! Can you imagine that blasting you as you hesitate at a stop light or slow to avoid hitting an animal in the road? Poor smushed roadkill.
