GM makes a good product. Their cars and trucks are great, as well as many of the other car companies in business today. However they all do strange things when it comes to building vehicles; today I want to tell you about one from GM that I encountered recently. It happens to be my own vehicle, a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Pickup. A good old fashioned 1 ton plow & tow vehicle. A working mans working vehicle..

How come they only put one horn on it? A low tone horn in the lower front corner of the drivers side. When you blow the horn it sounds like a duck. I tend to look up for flying birds when I hear it. And the fact is the wiring harness connector and mounting pad is installed in the vehicle from the factory. All it needs is a horn assembly. I pulled the headlight and grill this morning to see for myself and sure enough all I need is a horn. A phone call to my local GM dealer (they have a bunch in stock) and it will be a simple bolt in. If anyone from GM is listening a horn is pretty important today as a safety item. A plow truck out in bad weather or a tow vehicle pulling a 24 foot trailer needs a good LOUD horn. Can you please spend the extra $20 (and probably not that much at the point of assembly) and put two horns in at the factory instead of making us do it out here in the real world? Blowing a horn should be loud enough for the driver of ALL vehicles around it, including the one where the horn is, to be heard.
In a previous blog, “A Runners Wife” I spoke about my husband training for the NYC marathon. All I have to say is that the months of training all came together of an amazing race. Race day is a grueling day for runners, and the family. But a miracle happened...
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder testified before the senate judiciary committee and basically shrugged when asked if any other enemy combatant captured overseas had ever been brought to civilian criminal court to face justice. Talk about an incompetent boob, not to mention a disgrace.
