well, if you want a CB radio, then put one in. just remember that these days you will be pretty much talking to truckers. here are two that i would recommend if you really want a CB radio;

http://www.cbcity.com/item/COBRA-29LTD-SE-CHROME-1280

http://www.cbcity.com/item/Cobra-29-LXCHR-1525

the second one is what i would get, you might like the first one, its chrome

You need a big car for a big train horn. On a Mustang, just use Flow Master mufflers and everyone will know where you are all the time.

If ya do go the cb route, after you hace it installed, go visit your local truck stop. Tell the guy behind the counter you want your antenna tuned. Those guys can do a few tweaks that will triple your signal distance

You made this informative! Way to teach me something new. You used to adjust the trim on the car stereo for the same reason.

my buddy had train horns installed on his F-250. It really is funny when someone in a Yaris cuts you off so you hit em with the train horns and watch em flip out inside the car lol. It's also fun when said friend asks you to pull his truck out of the drive way and you give him a taste of his own horns.

It should be noted that use of a train horn on a car/truck is also illegal. In addition, the horns that are purchased and sold on sites like eBay are stolen from locomotives while on private property.

Ask me how I know

Okay, sermon over. Carry on here....
