Yeah but then you have to get out of the car and walk up to the door then walk all the way back to the car.

I'm from Maryland originally and I've always honked the horn when I pick people up at their houses. Everybody I know does that too. Or hell when I'm picking up this girl whose parents go to sleep early I call her on her cell phone and tell her I'm in the driveway.

Maybe you've been spoiled by all of these years of people getting out of their cars to ring your door bell. It ain't because he's from Wisconsin though.
