Where Are All the Beeps?
Where Are All the Beeps?-May 2024

The horns on a 1970 Triumph GT6

What is the noise that emerges from the car? This is the beeping, the toot of the other wheel that doesn’t touch the ground through tires.

The honks. The toots. The hornenations.

Big beeps, bouncing up to your eardrums.

You see, from afar, the hand as it touches the wheel. Through the glass you see it. Light beams, reflecting to your eyes. You know, in this moment. That it is rocketing towards you.

This briefest of moments, electricity coursing through your brain, knowing that which will come. Anticipation, almost! It is not enough time. It is only the knowing, the recognition. Fear, excitement. These are all ahead of you. Now, though, there is only the wave that is Horn, your whole body lost in it.

These are those moments, captured, recorded, to be played again in wonder:

Not included, sadly, are the little horns:

The old horns:

Or the loud horns:

Boy, I thought there would be better horn videos. Honk it up! Honk the horns for me, on video.

Still, it may be impossible to assess all horns. There is no life long enough, to be stretched the length of that wave.

I'm Hearing Reports That F9 Might Actually Be Good
It used to be very important to have a movie critic, or a set of movie critics, that you trusted. Because, at heart, movie reviews are service journalism, in that I need to know if paying $15 and spending two hours in a theater is a good use of...

This Is The 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback And Yes It Comes With A Stick Shift
The 2022 Honda Civic sedan looks like a solid improvement over its predecessor, except there’s one problem: The manual transmission is gone, leaving only a continuously variable transmission. But fear not, 11th-gen Civic shoppers, there is a hatchback, and that one gets the stick. Here’s a first look. A...

Hot Wheels Unleashed Is Way Prettier Than A Toy Car Game Has Any Right To Be
Hot Wheels Unleashed Is Way Prettier Than A Toy Car Game Has Any Right To Be
Like any budding gearhead, I had bunch of Hot Wheels growing up. Too many, in fact. Small Sterilite containers full of the things. I was proud of my collection, but in retrospect, I cost my parents a small fortune in diecasts. Back in my day, you couldn’t just like...

Batman Movies Always Cast The Perfect Car For Bruce Wayne
Car casting in movies is very hit or miss, if you’ll please excuse the pun. Sometimes the choice of car is perfect for the role, like the E34 in Ronin, and sometimes even James Bond struggles to find the right car, like his 1987 Lincoln Mark VII LSC in...
