But I might be wrong, I was never sober

I hate these people already.

Hey anybody know where I can buy a good quality PA system that would mount under my vehicle hood with a mic in the car? I'm tired of hanging my megaphone out my window to yell at those Axe The Tax bumpkins whenever I drive by. Plus, with winter coming, I think my family will start yipping at me if I open the windows when it's super cold. It'd be nice to call them homeless pedophiles without the current rigmarole.

I contacted an emergency vehicle outfitting company, but they didn't get back to me.

There are some $30 - $50 options on Amazon, but they seem crappy on the voice part and are more focused on sirens and stuff, which isn't what I'm after. I basically want a super loud megaphone under my hood. Totally stumped.

I could be completely wrong but I would think that any speaker mounted under your hood is going to sound awful (distortion, muffled, etc) because of the sheet metal, engine, sound deadening unless you have enough room to maybe mount it between the grill and radiator. Just get a roof rack and mount a speaker to that.

Is there some type of bluetooth speaker with wireless mic you could use instead?

There was a time that Teslas could use the cabin microphone to route your voice through the outside speakers while driving. Sadly the regulators made them disable this feature and it only works when in Park now. Apparently there are some unsanctioned hacks to allow it to work again.

But...do the speakers make your voice sound like Elon?

Does anyone know why the province skipped the A letters and started with B when they switched to the new plates (xxx-####)?

The original AAA six character series was reserved for handicapped vehicles. They usually try to avoid vowels, but did use them when they used up all of the consonants for the six character passenger series before going to seven characters.

A's were used for the Suppor the Troops plates as well, although those remained 6 digits

For a second I thought we got Super Troopers plates and I was pretty stoked.

Two A’s on those, not three.
