Does anyone recall when everybody had a CB radio in their car

[RagingInMiami]

And thought they were the Bandit from Smokey and the Bandit?

1. Yep...and CB "handles"...

Were as widespread as handles in forums like ours here at DU!:D

11. You need one. How else are you going to keep up with them duke boys?

[jswordy]

6. 10-4, that was a lot of fun, come back.

I miss those days. I had a blast with mine!

I was there when it was ONLY 23 CHANNELS! Then they went to 40, and we felt like we died and went to heaven!

9. Breaker Breaker 10-4 good buddy

I remember those well. I loved listening to truckers.

10. My Dad Was A Truck Driver

We had one even before they were cool. Had the big antenna on the house. We each had them in our first cars, so we always could contact home. (Long before cellphones.)

I used them probably for 15 years. My handle was Eighth-Note.

12. I Was "Teen Angel"

Because of my love for '50s doo-wop music.

14. Do the truckers still use Ch 19?

The Caveman said that.

[Lauri16]

15. Most do,

but some drivers that run together will run on another channel to avoid the crap.
