Citizens Band

Long before we had to worry about drivers texting, there were a few trading trucker slang via the ‘CB’. Growing up, we had an old Chevy Sheyenne equipped with this trendy technology but the novelty didn’t seem to last very long. Movies and shows like ‘Smokey and the Bandit’ and ‘The Dukes of Hazzard’ made this way of being able to communicate while driving seem pretty cool to us kids and I remember begging our parents to turn it on. The only problem was we didn’t really have a need for one, so unless you wanted to eavesdrop, had an emergency or someone to actually talk to, it was simply just a prop to play with. Do you copy?

Over and out.

What say you?
