(This idea came to me while half-asleep last night).
The front of many cars resembles a face, with the headlights as eyes and the radiator grille as the mouth.
So, this idea is to fix an outsized 'blow-out' (those paper things children get at parties - you blow into them and they unroll
and make a noise) such that when activated (by the fan? - by exhaust gases? - I'm not sure) it sticks through the radiator grille and looks like the car is sticking its tongue out. Combined with the noise that blow-outs make this could replace the car horn.

Destined for a top ten list. I didn't even finish reading the subtitle before I needed oxygen. |

Actually useful in that it makes a great pressure gage. |

It would be ESPECIALLY functional when you're stuck behind those old grannies in traffic. |
|
|
Although, it would end the tradition of referring to cars as feminine objects. |

Yesterday I saw a video someone had posted on Facebook of a car exhaust suffed full of Blow-Outs. When they started the car, they all extended and honked in a really pleasing way. |
