I did have that problem in my xB. I'd be turning or something and then I would accidentally honk the horn and people would look at me like I was crazy.

My boyfriend bought the visor for me after we were unsuccessful at begging the Scion guys to give it to me at the NY Auto show They gave me the baseball cap instead.


And although I haven't had any problems with accidental honking in my tC I DID have problems with it with my mom's camry. My hand wouldn't even be near the horn in that car and it would go off!! I'm like "WTF was that ME?"

I've had more people ask if my avatar is me lately. No, it's not me, it's some old guy that showed up to our H-town - DFW meet. We made him wear a SCION hat instead of his FORD hat. Then I photoshopped him into some pictures. It's a big joke in the Lonestar Regional Forum and between all of us.

LMAO!! That used to happen to me ALL the freakin time!! I would be driving & trying to grab something out of my purse, or from the passenger seat & I would start honking by accident. I got flicked off a couple times too! It was kinda funny... But yeah I think the horn is WAY too sensitive...

It definitely is very sensitive! Everytime I put on my club and take it off, I always tend to touch it accidentally. Especially when I get home really late, I'm sure my neighbors know when I get home now.
