My grandfather (rest his soul) told me about how he used to wardrive with his old world war radio on the streets of san francisco when he got back from the war. he used to pick up everything from the armed forces, to HAM radio operators, to... (yes, i was surprised too) radio transmissions of people doing the mattress mombo. i guess wardriving is in my blood.

It's a long story but here's how:
I joined the Wardriving community on Orkut.com. When I checked it out, I
realized they did not have a picture like other groups did. (The Orkut
Socalwug community uses the SOCALWUG web page logo.)
That got me wondering what a good wardriving picture would look like. So,
as usual, I Googled the images directory for "wardriving". Nothing hit me
at first. There were a lot of laptops, cantennas, dudes with big antennas
hiding their faces, the doonesbury wardriving strip, even a few pix from
SOCALWUG presentations (w00t), but I didn't get struck with the epitomy of
wardriving until I saw that old car with a giant radio and loop antenna with
an enginner working the controls.
It was so neat, that I thought the list would dig it too. :)
