Animal Farm: Beastly Horns for Your Hoopty [Video]

Jed the Donkey

As conversation occasionally does among the Gen-X cohort at C/D, talk this afternoon turned to the ‘70s-chestnut television variety program Hee Haw. Which sent a certain staffer down a rabbit hole to find something automotively relevant to the show beyond Junior Samples’ used-car commercial sketches. Which is how we discovered Jed, a primitive CGI donkey hawking an Equus africanus asinus car horn.

Jed (whose spiel you can catch below) turned out to be merely the edge of the animal-noise horn spectrum. In fact, noveltycarhorns.com’s animal-sounds page opened up a world of janky automotive pairings. Imagine, your clapped out S-Type or X-Type on budget plus-sized wheels could at last scream like a legit Jaguar instead of emitting the declassé moan of a rebodied ‘90s Ford.





Just think, the next time somebody cuts off your Fairmont, you could mash the button and with a realistic neigh, inform the offender that your car’s special—that it rides on Mustang bones! Make your Moto Guzzi honk like a frantic goose! Your F-150 Lobo will finally howl like the wolf it is!

We would, however, recommend against installing the “deer grunt” horn on anything you might drive on public roads during the rut. That, friends, is just asking for calamity.
