CB Radio Installation?

Does anyone on here have a CB radio in their car? I'm tossing around the idea of getting a pair for myself, and the girlfriend (we both have the same car). I realize a simple pair of walkie-talkies would suffice for communications when we're driving together, or cruising in a group, but we both think the idea of a CB radio is so much more bad-ass.

Curious if anyone has a CB setup in their vehicle...? I don't really know anything about CBs, but I do know that the ideal setup includes a giant whip antenna, and is tuned to your vehicle. Though we aren't looking for many, many miles of range, so maybe it's possible to have a hidden antenna... though I suppose at that point you defeat the purpose of a CB... IDK. Just brainstorming here!

With a short mag mount. You can plug it into a lighter socket.

I've considered one like the HH Road Trip, for cross country drives. Always nice to know whats going on from the truckers.

If I'm not mistaken they have CB apps for your phone if you just want to listen.
