By the power of human interaction, infrared bell to object sensing technology and some tweaking.

A doorbell that once pressed honks the horn of the car parked in the driveway.

Should give a start even if the car doesn't.

[yeah,I know. It's kind of my little tribute]

I'd like the opposite: pressing the car horn would ring the doorbell. For carpool drivers whose pickups don't listen closely enough for the horn.

Me no car. Could it set off the neighbor's down the street? They would have to come out in the dead of winter, and see why their horn honked. (evil +++'s)
