I don't know, but I found the picture on some C.B. rag website. I thought it was sooooo funny. I'm betting the original owner of this "rig" has a gut the size of Texas and his name is "Bubba."

I'm betting that the number of radios in that car is higher than the owners IQ.

I wonder what it smells like in there.... then again, I probably don't want to know.
The best mobile shack in the world would have all the crap in the back and a single integrated control panel up front for all radios. One single microphone.
What a pile of crappola. Half the stuff looks like it would go flying at over 10 mph.
I hate to think what the guys garage and hamshack at home look like.
Wackermobile! Yes, I posted this picture last year. And as for the smell, probably CHEESE.
Here is a pic of the out-side http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Is the purple can on the floor a can of Pringles from the 1960's, or is a fire extinguisher?

Looks like a fast food cup ... the large size.
Look on the bottom left of the pic under the steering wheel. Looks like there is one neatly bundled set of wires there. Good thing he did that -- wouldn't want him to trip getting out!

Do you think he had to put in a bigger amp producing alternator? If so, how much "J.B. Weld" and duct tape did he use to secure it to the engine block?

Hi Hi!
I'm betting the original owner died in the blast.

Yep, the original 'Porcupine car' from HamSexy.
I have seen it twice, and yes, he is from the midwest, maybe it is MO. I just don't remember.
MY guess is he is either NOT married (DUH) or at least, she has her OWN vehicle, likely with the radio ripped out.....
I can NOT imagine NOT getting a ticket for something....That just CAN'T be legal.....
If they ever want to argue about hams being exempt from 'Drving while using a CellPhone' law, someone will find these pics and we'll ALL be outlawed from having radios in the car ! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

i saw the pic...
i am actually speechless.
all i can say is that it would suck if something shorted and all those radios caught on fire.
i hard wired a starter a loooooong time ago and when i went into work that morning shortly after i clocked in i was shortly informed that my car was on fire.
imagine my surprise..
i wont say that i soiled myself but i was really really surprised.
i would be concerned if the inside of my vehicle looked like that.
i barely tolerate a hand-held,i cant see it. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

I saw this on Hamsexy a while back.
An octopus owns it. Who else could drive, shift a stick, talk on a dozen radios and drink Pepsi all at the same time?
Just think what this doofus does for the image of ham radio. Whatever it is, I hope it's reversible.

Some people hoard pets, this wingnut hoards radios. Any competent law enforcement officer should be able to have it towed as a hazard. Not to mention one hell of a distraction to others on the road. I would classify it as an attractive nuisance. Incredible.
