Default Halloween ghost

I had the strangest thing happen today , I was just standing out side of my house when I heard a horn blasting away coming from my garage which is 100 feet away from the house . I ran to my garage wondering what was going on . I touched the horn ring on my 55 and then the horn stopped blasting. It was strange because it never did that before in 36 years . It was so weird that I thought a ghost was holding it down, anyone ever have a strange thing like that happen to them on your Corvette? I still cant figure how it started or what happened .

Maybe, it was, feeling, a little HORNEY? I had problems like that when I was using one of the aftermarket steering wheels with the thicker aluminum frame. It messed up the clearance of the horn switch.

Default Weird moment

Hello
I had a weird experience with my Corvette. I was replacing the steering coupler and walked away to get another wrench and the hood slammed shut on my Vette. Im not one to be superstitious. However, there was no wind and there was nothing wrong with the hood latch that keeps the hood open. I kept thinking of the movie "Christine" I decided that maybe I should stop and take a break from working on the Corvette today..
