Who has honked at a rock, tree, log, etc

[MrBigAxe]

I've seen several videos of people running into a rock or bouncing off a tree in their FJ Cruiser and honking at whatever they hit. I did that yesterday, but it was pretty minor compared to others I have seen. I hit a bump while rolling down what I thought to be a smooth hill. I found a pretty good bump, that stopped me dead in my tracks. Of course, I honked at it. My front tires are what hit the bump, and I was moving slowly, so no damage.

So, who here has honked at an off-road obstacle, and was there any damage?

Last time out to General sams i had to go around abunch of four wheelers that chose the middle of the trail as a stopping place for lunch and had to drive over a washout and when my front tire slipped in my hand slipped and hit the horn and the four wheelers seemed to find it very funny. I have honked on a couple of other obstacles too, always when facing down hill and unexpectedly bouncing/stopping.

I've never honked at anything. Maybe I'm not wheeling hard enough! I guess I just keep my hands/arms clear of the horn area...I guess. I've heard that a lot on the videos as well. Weird.

Now that I've said this, I will have to disconnect my horn from excessive trail honking.

The last ride in Harlan I honked my horn and turned on my flashers. All at the same time!!!!

Every time I see that happen it makes me laugh.

Yea, but you made it up that hill!

Yup, I hit my face on the horn when I slipped into a rut. It was more funny than painfull.

Never honked, but I left a huge Voodoo Blue Streak down the side of a boulder one time.
