JollySipper Posted January 8 Posted January 8 'Meep meep' isn't completely correct, though I was Very close!.......... The Road Runner's "beep, beep" sound was inspired by background artist Paul Julian's imitation of a car horn.[19] Julian voiced the various recordings of the phrase used throughout the Road Runner cartoons, although on-screen he was uncredited for his work. According to animation historian Michael Barrier, Julian's preferred spelling of the sound effect was either "hmeep hmeep"[20] or "mweep, mweep." From wiki......... Â
slusher Posted January 8 Posted January 8 (edited) Mweep Mweep my have been the preferred spelling but it still sounded like a VW bettle horn.. Edited January 8 by slusher Typo

Ace-Garageguy Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Japan seems to be going down the questionable engineering road much of the rest of the world now favors, unnecessary complication that really doesn't make a product "better", just more prone to failure and more costly to repair.
LennyB Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Repair or replace, Japan seems to favor the later as so many of their electronics don't have after the sale parts support. 1
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 8 Posted January 8 (edited) Support from the aftermarket is nonexistent for loads of late-model electronic bits, and some vehicles are configured specifically so you can't swap in used bits, so if a part is NLA from the OEM, you either re-engineer systems entirely (often cost-prohibitive even IF you can find anyone who has the skills), or in some cases, just junk an otherwise perfectly good vehicle.

Ace-Garageguy Posted January 8 Posted January 8 (edited) Car things are being pushed to becoming as disposable as cheap offshore-made appliances and last-generation cellphones, but if you try to explain this to anyone who's not in the business, you get shouted down with "EVERYTHING NEW IS BETTER-LASTS LONGER-IS SAFER-MORE CONVENIENT-MAKES YOUR LUNCH-DOES YOUR LAUNDRY-PARALLEL PARKS ITSELF IF YOU HAVE ZERO PHYSICAL SKILLS-BLA BLA BLA" ad nauseam.

Tim W. SoCal Posted January 8 Posted January 8 nauseam is the feeling that overtakes me every time I have to attempt to take apart a new-generation throw away car that was designed and engineered to be slapped together very quickly on a mass production assembly line and then never have a component, beside the oil drain plug and possibly the oil filter, removed for service, replacement or repair, again 1
