stupid minor problems

its the minor problems that are probably the most annoying. there's a couple things that are wrong with my car right now that effect performance of anything else really for that matter, but just annoy the hell out of me. for example..my horn is like..blown out. one day, i went to use it and it was all muffled and crackly. it sucks. my clutch also squeeks. i'm pretty sure its working fine, it just squeeks every time i let it out. any suggestions how to fix either?

replace the horn, or just yell really loud next time someone cuts you off in traffic

and depending on where your clutch nose is coming from, the pedal or the actual clutch mechanizm you probably want to put some WD40 on it and tighten any lose bolts

Your horns are wasted, rust and dirt will get inside and fry it.
Go to a local junkyard and scavange some a donor. I used a VW scirocco horn, its loud as hell and sounds like a BIG car.
I had to splice in the plug but no big deal.

On your cluch pedal, sounds like your clutch spring need oiling.
I would use so 3in1 oil or something a little heavier than WD40 just so you`re not spraying it once a month. LATER

You too, eh? I can pull off the highway without turning the steering wheel... But my alignment is right on, everything, I don't understand what all the numbers mean, but I've checked them... They're exactly to specs
Of course, my mother's truck is even worse... Because hers is intermittent, mine at least is constant, and if I fixed it, I'd have to learn how to drive the car all over again

I used to be able to cut 5 lanes of highway without touching the wheel

that got solved when i replaced the struts and camber came into spec.

still ...theres many other stories i can tell about the weirdest thing

i got my alignment done last week and the car still pulls to the right. the numbers are right on. i took it back to the place to see what's up and they said the tires just need to wear back to level. they said since the alighnment was off, the tires wear at an angle (make sense) and that I need to wait about 500 miles before they will be flat again.

they suggested in the future when I get the alighnment done, I rotate the tires since the rear wheels wear flatter then the front ones. that way the tires won't be causing the car to pull even when the alignment is correct.

the logic kinda makes sense, but I don't know if the mechanic is just being lazy so he doesn't have to fix it again. I guess I'll find out after another 200 miles
