I don't know why, but ever since I found the video of the Diaphone horn in Cape May, New Jersey on Youtube ( link for those who haven't seen it), I've had a huge desire to own one simply because of the cool sound it makes :D I have no clue what I'd do with it if I did have one (though I can think of...
