No man im out in the city I live in Boston I work at a large volume GM dealership

Ok so I wake up at 3 this morning to my trucks horn blaring for no reason. I don't think it was the alarm because it was one solid blast. It only stopped when I honked the horn

Anyone know whats up?

@here

Does it only happen when it's cold?

@Thomas Morrow

This is the first time it's ever happened

The temperature did drop last night though

Most of the parts around the horn are plastic. Cold weather can cause the plastic parts to compress which would cause the horn to go off.
You have to open up your horn to do a little modification to the horn pads.

Yeah you probably have the connections touching

@Thomas Morrow let us know what you find out.

For sure. The cold could very well have been it

@bostoneuropean glad you’re in here. I lot of people are completely in the dark about car sales

Glad to be here and trust me I️ know I️ see people getting fucked all day every day I’m here to make sure it doesn’t happen to our brothers

I️ will give best step by step negotiating skills hahaha you will be a better negotiator than (((them)))

@bostoneuropean I've heard that a lot of dealerships do 0% interest towards the end of the year. Is that true? If so, now is the time to buy, right?

Buy a car cash if you can dude. You never really win at a dealership, especially if you finance.

spooky_kraut#8307 Alright so here’s the thing with 0% yes dealerships do 0% but a lot of the time they have to buy the rate down so you will loose discounts on the vehicle either way they get their money the reason dels at the end of the year are good because the manufacturer give extra rebates to get rid of left over 2017’s

I just went through a lot of leasing research. Was gonna lease instead of buy my wife a car. Seemed like leases work for nicer cars but don’t pan out for cheaper ones. Plus they hide all their fees in $ down on a lease. Seemed like it is best to never put money down on a lease

Just decided to fix the car we have for now

Well my horn went off again last night

I ended up disconnecting the battery

@Thomas Morrow can you go ahead and pop open the steering wheel?

Haven't had time to yet. If all else fails I'll just pull the fuse for the duration of winter

Hopefully I can just fix it after work today

Sounds like a good long term solution

Yeah I'd rather fix the problem but if I can't I'll just pull the fuse. Better than waking up at three in the morning and running out into the cold to disconnect the battery

I had the same problem with an old car. Had to pull the fuse out to fix it.

I ended up pulling the fuse until I can figure out how to fix it

PSA: car drivers ... trucks and SUVs fare far better in car crashes. The heavier weight forces the crash energy into other objects and reduces G forces, the large size provides big crumple zones, the higher bumpers match other trucks and make the collision at knee level rather than shoulder level. You should consider an SUV for your next vehicle purchase, it could save your life and prevent permanent injury.

Plus trucks are cool

I was thinking of getting something like Ford Escape maybe. I like the smaller SUV models out now

whats the rundown on a honda civic purchase as a tuner car

What year are you looking for? What's your goals for the car?

I was thinking Id just start with modified exhaust panel air filter VTEC and the flywheel

They are pretty good. Nip legos. But you should go Volkswagen. Sweet little hatchback.

The aftermarket is very strong for hondas. What year are you thinking? I would recommend one with a k series engine. The money to power ratio is much greater than older models engines. I'm mostly a rear wheel drive guy myself but I went through the tuner stage at one point. Volkswagens make decent cars unless you want something really fast.

@bostoneuropean ☝🏻

Honda would be cheap, if your looking for something fast and cheap I would go either dodge peon or an older Toyota Supra my buddy just built a peon srt 4 for literally only 3k thing has 450 at the rear wheels

That's sweet. Those turbo neons were pretty awesome, I just think they were ugly.
