You don't think a train horn blasted at you from behind would startle you?
You must have nerves of steel and ice water in your veins. Hey, do you know
that there are tools which can remove the insides of a Schraeder valve? I'll
bet someone with such a tool could remove the valve cores from 4 truck tires
in about a minute or so. That would be something.

Except he's not a redneck, unless Puerto Ricans or Cubans can be rednecks. I
think this guy probably wears baggy pants and a throwback jersey.

It would if I were sitting in my house during quiet time not expecting
something to be there. But a loud sound coming up from behind me probably
won't simply because i expect things to come up, like cars. Sometimes a car
can pass and it really didn't even hear it coming (wind noise, etc.).
Hence, I've learned to expect that.

Now, if it came so close that I thought it was going to hit me, I'd be
startled. Or some similar thing.

There are redneck equivalents. 🙂

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And this moron had the audacity to advertize his DJ business in the same
post. That ought to make it pretty easy to steal his valve cores.

BTW, did you know that sound levels that high cause hearing loss? He needs
to be stopped.

Horns like that belong more on bikes.

I bet if a cyclist parked in the middle of an empty street and
sounded that thing off, bystanders would be vainly looking all
over the place for the source of the noise.

If you're in the States, just go to an Autozone or Pep Boys and get you
a 79c valve core removal tool, not that I recommend escalating the
animosity and I especially don't recommend chewing four pieces of
really sticky gum on the way there and smearing it on the valves after
the cores had been removed. That would be juvenile.

Yes, that would be very juvenile. Not as juvenile as injecting the empty
valves with Shoe Goo or some other highly sticky material, but very juvenile
indeed.

But the uber-juvenile, would mix some two part epoxy at the scene of
the crime and render the valves unrecoverable, and would be a true
cretin in my opinion.

Nah, the uber-juvenile would install the epoxy mixture inside the horn
as well as the valve insides.

While the DJ is parked in a grocery store lot, during his mad dash
inside to grab a bite before racing out to his oh-so-important gig.

Why wouldn't a juvenile just pull the stems out with a pair of pliers?
That's what they do in the tire shops.

Now that would be vandalism and completely unforgiveable, especially if
the criminal brought a welding rig along on a bob trailer and neatly
brazed the open holes shut after pulling the stems.

For shame!!

No, more likely it will be remembered as yet another thread featuring
immature- and ultimately cowardly- fantasies about revenge for a
never-encountered (anyone can offer to *sell* air horns online but how
many people *buy* them?) bad act, not too unlike other threads here
about walloping cars with U-locks or threads in auto groups about
taking snotty cyclists down a peg with clever manuevers that force them
off the road while doing no real injury.
