    LOL! I had a CB tweaked and peaked with a foot warmer! Also had a BEL bird dog and a bear scanner! Oh yeah and one of those super trucker cell phone antennas mounted on the mirror, can't forget the satellite radio so I could listen to every episode of midnight trucker and coast to coast!

    I unplugged mine last year. Got too tired of having people yell at me. If you don't like my driving, stay off the sidewalk.

    Hahaha. I remember my last conversation like it was a few hours ago. Turned on the shoutbox to inform a tanker driver he had a smokey on his back door. oh man, everyone in ear shot let me have it. Thankfully didn't understand much of the lingo. Yeah, I'll stick too other communications :yes2557:

    Have a very thick skin, but that day the moons in the universe lined up and haven't used one since.

    Never got on board with the lingo. Smokey on his back door? You saying his trailer was on fire? Bah... I ran Island Park last year and another company driver pass me the other way. he told me to watch out for bears... I was like: You mean actual bears?!?! we have those in Montana.

    You so correct in saying that.

    You can not see past the door handle of car.

    At lease in a truck you can see down the hole length of the truck and trailer and see your outside tires and the edge of the bumper on the trailer.

    Good luck seeing your bumper in a car.
