Does anyone still use CB radios?
And by "anyone," I mean anyone, not necessarily people reading this. Do truckers still use them?
 I just acquired one in a car I bought and not sure if I should keep it as a back-up for my RV, (which already has one). I don't know how to use one and I don't have a handle, though several porn references come to mind. Maybe "Dirty Sanchez," though I'm sure that one is already taken.

20 years ago when I bought my 911 in Columbus, OH, we drove down to get it and trailer it home.
Somewhere in Ohio, we bought a $25 CB at a truck stop. We listened to the jibba jabba all the way home.

Let’s turn this thread into a ‘Suggest a CB Handle for speeder Thread’…
My vote is for ‘Bo Peep’. No reason.

I use Waze for navigation. Kind of reminds me of having a CB-type of heads up ahead.

Convoy is comical. I remember the CB song from the 70's
So, let's see.....in Chicago and needing to pay tolls per the song "We crashed the gate doing 98, I says, let them truckers roll, 10-4". I hope he scarfed enough coin from this tune to retire. I'm working on a 78 Lincoln Continental. It's got a factory CB in it.

I use a CB every day. Many truckers still do. If there’s a slowdown on the interstate I go to channel 19 to see what’s up. Very helpful.

My dad's 66 911 had a CB in it.
Come to think of it, he never had the radio on, even once. It was either CB or flat 6. |

Someone with worse taste than I drilled four holes in a 65 MGB and mounted and CB antenna on it.
I bought the car circa 1991. Never did find someone to weld that up. |
