DonRocks Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 For those of you who have no idea what a Convoy is, I freely admit I grew up in the single worst era for music in the entire history of the world. This is strangely related to the Cannonball Run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweaked Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I never knew CB stands for Citizens Band radio. This is all sort of interesting when you get in the weeds, such as the convoy used as a trucker protest against the 55 mph speed limit implemented during the 1970s oil crisis.

When I was a kid (10-12 or so), my cousin had a CB radio, and we both became enthusiasts, in our own way - we used it a lot when we were on trips with his mom, and we got pretty good with the lingo. I remember all the truckers as being completely professional and friendly, even though they surely knew we were kids, probably because they saw we were trying to be helpful (we'd call when we saw a police car, etc.). It was fun, and a *lot* of people used them back then (early 1970s). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIShGo Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Breaker, breaker, 1-9. My best friend growing up had a CB radio in her family station wagon. We had a lot of fun with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
