Topic: Whistle Tips on a Lemons car?

Say, for example, that I plan to run Lemons in a Supra. Or a Ford Country Squire woody wagon. Regardless, would it be okay to run it with whistle tips in the exhaust?

What's a whistle tip, you ask? Oh, brother, only the best internet meme of all time!

So, legal? Or not? Can't be worse than semi-truck horns, right?

Re: Whistle Tips on a Lemons car?

We had one on our MR2 for the first race we entered.. it was horrible

Re: Whistle Tips on a Lemons car?

The MR2 or the whistle tip? Was it just fo' decoration? That's it and that's all?

It would be a good way to wake up the paddock in the morning. And by "good" I mean "effective," not "friendly". smile

Re: Whistle Tips on a Lemons car?

Lemons is one of the last places on earth where whistle tips are legal. Use for decoration, as an alarm clock, etc.

Re: Whistle Tips on a Lemons car?

We've considered using whistle tips as a penalty, so of course we're totally behind racers installing them voluntarily. You know Oakland native Nick has 'em on his 2002!

Wooo-WOOOO!

Re: Whistle Tips on a Lemons car?

Actually, according to the last Lemons Supreme Court meeting minutes, in 2010 it will be illegal NOT to run whistle tips.

"This is the scene where I get shot," Bronson said. "I have these little squibs that explode to make it look like bullets are hitting." "Fascinating," said Bergman. "I never knew how they did that." "You mean," asked Bronson, "you don't use machine guns in your movies?"

Re: Whistle Tips on a Lemons car?

Mulry, only MR2s should be allowed to run them and maybe SHOs except Sergio's since his actually runs.  That way everyone will know when one of them is actually running.

Wonder what they sound like on 3ish cylinders: wo oo ooo  wo U

The Duck Call Blow Off is hilarious.  I can see that on a particular RX7.

The duck call sounds like a baby crying, as in your car is saying, "Waaaah!!! You chicken-lifted. Waaaah."
