It's nice to see the stigma of 70's CB radio hasn't worn off... Nobody "Good Buddies" anymore. Actually that phrase has a whole new meaning because of the CB craze wearing it out... Remember when gay meant happy? Same kinda thing.
However, that was the general idea. It's great for breakdowns but that last cruise was 60 miles with nobody to talk to. I don't know about you guys but if I'm driving alone I'm focused on my car and the road. When I'm in a caravan of 20 VW's I want a shoutbox. I want to hear Jack call Jay 50 times to tell him to slow the f!$@ down. I don't want to find out about the Thing with the for sale sign by the old barn 35 miles after we passed it. It adds another dimension to the trip.
Anyway I'll have one in my car and if anybody else wants to please do, and if you need help putting it in or obtaining one...call me.
I did have a neat idea for temporary mounting. The VW's unique a steel under dash area allow a magnetic mount. If you bolt 2 of these to the mounting bracket you can hang the radio under the dash without drilling holes
