First seen at CES, this device allows you to play almost any audio file that can be transferred via USB as your honk. The FX-550 can store eight songs or audio files at a time. We can think of a few good songs for specific cars, like "Little GTO (http://youtube.com/watch?v=44kg0IENTPU)" in your classic Pontiac, "409 (http://youtube.com/watch?v=FoqHPYIUtBM)", "Little Deuce Coupe (http://youtube.com/watch?v=xa9hXEHDkYI)"... the list goes on and on. Or, how about "Rollin (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Mz2jVe3AGaY)" (language) by Limp Bizkit, or Tupac's "Picture Me Rollin (http://youtube.com/watch?v=uIWQtSVqufI)" (language)? It boggles the mind. And then there are the "road rage" set who will just record their own voice screaming obscenities -- maybe this isn't such a good idea.
