Customize Your Car Horn with HornTones

Are you tired of the normal sound that your car makes when you push the horn? Then why not customize it with your own MP3 horn tones? This gadget from ThinkGeek allows you to customize your horn to play what you want.

HornTones plays 256 megabytes of MP3s and comes with a USB slot so you can add new ones. The device can store up to ten different tones, so you can find one for every occasion. ThinkGeek gives a few examples of how this gadget can be used:

Dixie at the demolition derby
The Empire Strikes Back theme when you pull up to the IRS office
A Godzilla roar when stuck behind a Toyota
The Back to the Future theme as you accelerate to 88 miles per hour
Road-Runner “Meep-Meep!” right before you floor it
The beginning of “Gimme More” if your name happens to be Britney

Off course you have to be careful. You can’t have sirens, bells, or whistles that emergency vehicles use.

It is pretty expensive at $300, but come on, that’s a small price to pay for the ability to blast whatever sound you want (almost) whenever you want.
