We’ve had a milder winter in Boise this year, so my wife has been driving my truck more. She won’t drive it very often when the weather is bad because it’s a manual and obviously drives different than her automatic.
Anyway, she found a new auto detailer place in town and decided that since we’ve had a patch of good weather she’d have them detail my truck and give it a wax job. She pulls up and makes sure to dump the tank before handing off the keys to them, which of course raises eyebrows. One of the guys asks if she just blew a tire, so she tells them about the horns.
“Horns? What kinds of horns?”, he asks, and she tells them about the train horns and where the manual valve is, and that they are really loud so to be safe she dumped the tank. Intrigued, they ask for a demonstration to which my wife agrees but only after they’re done because they are very loud.
This is where things go to hell in a hand basket …
So one of the guys says, “Oh they can’t be that loud.”, which is when she hits the switch to air back up. There is some light banter between the guys while she’s airing the tank up, bringing it to around 140psi when she kills the compressor and nails the horns.
Like kids locked in a candy store, they go wild … who installed it, what is it, wait … it’s really a train horn?
Looks like we might have a couple more folks from Idaho with orders for horns now.
