only in Armenia you will find a place to adjust your car horne

 

i guess before you learn to drive or before you fix anything on your car, you need to make sure your car Horne is in tip top shape. louder the better :)

Yerevan has become one of the nosiest city's, instead of turning or your turn signal you hunk your horn , car Horne is playing a Major role in car driving and traffic maneuvering in Yerevan
