Horntones Car Horn Plays MP3
Automobiles are more like computers on wheels these days and the technology you find underneath the hood now bears little resemblance to the mechanical technology that moved our cars in the last century. Gone are the carburetors that mixed the air and fuel, the distributors and rotors that managed the electrical impulses to fire the spark plugs are virtually nonexistent.

When I think of an antenna, the fist thing that pops into my mind is an image of the old rabbit ears that used to sit on top of my TV set back when I was a kid. Perhaps I’m dating myself once again as I reveal such imagery to you but there it is.
