I got a heck of a deal on this. I looked around town all day at pawn shops and all and then I called a friend and he said check radio shack. So I went and the lady said she might have a re-furb in the back. And she did. It rang up for only $10!! I got a heck of a deal I think. Me and all my buddies are getting them in our trucks. I started the trend with all my friends haha. I also got a 5 foot whip antenna for it. Attachments:
