Does anybody still have a cb radio in their personal vehicle? I go to memphis every week and do a lot of interstate driving so I bought one, mainly to have somebody to talk to on the 5 hour drive each week. I've had it on around marion this week and it doesn't seem like anybody really uses them anymore except for the truck drivers.

I still have one and use it when driving long distances. It can still be nice to have when you run into big traffic jams on the interstate. Since the speedlimit went back up to 65 and over not as much "smokey" talk....

We use to use them back in high school to keep track of each other and play "hide and seek" while avoiding the law on the weekends cruising town. It was fun to say the least but I guess cell phones trumped that

I had one in my truck until two years ago. When I sold the truck and got a new one I just haven't got around to putting it in my new one. Nice to have if you travel the interstate a lot.

Use to be my big thing. When everyone else had big sterios I had big radios. My CB's had over 500 channels(galaxies and Rangers) and if I pushed less than 500watts I was underpowered:p I regularly talked to other states on my mobile when I sat on top of a strip job. LOL and thats nothing compared to what was in my house at one time. plenty expensive hobby though:(

i like mine once i get away from the truck stops and big citys. most people you would want to talk to keep theirs turned down or off to avoid the trash talk.
