Since we're all throwing random ideas out here, I want to equip my vehicle with an annoyingly loud external speaker so that when someone near me does something dumb, I can personally shame them.

CB radios often had a "PA" switch that sent your microphone audio to a loudspeaker under the hood.

I'd prefer a "FlameThrower" button next to the horn.

Yeah this is exactly what I have in mind. I want to feel like Smokey the Bandit calling people out for bad behavior with a receiver that has a coiled cable attached to it, at a minimum.
