Re: Honking

Often, if it's a planned race, people will go on the third honk, something like that. He was probably trying to get you to race him.

I did a search on your post history and I'd say 8/10 posts made by you are nothing but a flame or a bashing towards a person or the topic at hand.

Keep it up and you're not going to last for long around here Junior.

hahahah..chillax mate..

I was obviously kidding, I mean seriously creating a thread about how someone honked their horn at you then asking people what it means is, well, a bit broad(also a bit well pathetic if you ask me).
Jeez.. there are so many answers to his question, I thought I'd lighten things up a bit.

I think by saying peace and using smilies when I post sarcastic comments shows that I'm not serious. If someone is offended by all means say so.

is humour something that is only allowed with higher posts?

peace

Re: Honking

I'm with Spaceman on this one...maybe he was trying to get your attention so you could do a run with him but when you didn't respond he drove off.

Re: Honking

Makes sense. I always thought the proper way to challenge was to rev up the engine or something? Man, I'm behind on the times.

Maybe he was trying to get your attention so that he could let you know your gas cap was open

With me its always one person drops into a lower gear, and when you hear them just go. I have heard of people doing it by honking but I don't do it though. My car's horn broke so when i honk it it sounds like it is about to die.

Not always...the horn is pretty common when you're already travelling at 80km/h or more. It's hard to rev an engine at that speed without loing your place and what not.

I think he wanted to race you, but when you didn't respond he just took off. Some other distinct possibilities are:

I think that's a good summary!
