I used to work with a guy who had no less than 8 mobiles in his personal vehicle. He had pulled the passenger side seat so that he could install a homemade "console" that also held his Laptop and 3 radios, along with his converta-com amp. He also carried at least 3 portables with him most days. 

 

I remember asking him one time how many radios he could talk on at once. I also remember that AAA cancelled his membership because he requested too many jump starts.

 

Some people can take anything too far.

Wow. That's a serious enthusiast, right there.

If you look carefully at the picture it becomes pretty obvious the car is not drivable.

Reminds me of a "car" I saw at one of those bass competitions back in the day. It was an 80's yugo, with just a wooden bench for a "driver's seat".  Literally everything behind that was either speakers, box, amplifiers, or batteries, and the windshield was just plexiglass braced with angle iron.  I think it did move under its own power, but only barely.

now that's just ridiculous who needs that much cushion on a seat

I always though I can't tell which band did that come from? I guess in this car it is more which quadrant was that chatter on.

There are some interesting set ups. I can't find the need for 4-5 2m/70cm setups, yet there are tons out there. Outside of tactical control. But eh each to their own.

I wonder if the guy did the FCC RF safety evaluation. Depending on band, power level and antenna location it's a requirement. Just because its a mobile station the safety issue can't be ignored.

It's an Egg cooker.

I'd be willing to suggest that not one bit of that "junk" even worked!
