Hmm.. how much does it cost to have a cb? does it have to be installed? that sounds like a fun idea. (since I can't get onstar!!)
did you ever see the movie "JoyRide"? I hope I don't run into "Rusty Nail"!! ha! ha!!

sorry! - i see a lot of movies!

Just use the normal amount of caution as far as stopping with someone and kind of talk with groups of drivers verses individuals if someone starts talking weird. But you should have some fun, meet some interesting new people and learn something about the areas you'll be traveling through. Even if you're not talkative, it's ok to just listen. 10-4!

Sportsfangal, you don't have to get really exotic with a CB installation. About $60-$70 should get you a basic radio, magnetic mount antenna and a power cord you can plug into your cigarette lighter. Check at truck stops or even Walmart for good deals. You can just put the radio on your seat or dashboard without permanently installing it. (That's a good idea because you can hide it when you stop for the night)

Haven't seen "Joyride"... (Maybe I should)
