Well I have a '99 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited as my chase vehicle. I actually don't have a full image of it in the album, but you can check out my homemade laptop mount in it:

i dont have much either, a 2000 Ford Focus, i dont have laptop or anything for it yet, just use My-Cast and Verizon's GPS system. I'm going to build a dash cam mount next spring, try to get some ideas during the winter. Also gonna buy a trucker's antenna for better cell reception. Gotta get a couple things fixed before my next chase though, hoping it wont cost too much.

Soon I hope to get a newer but used Ford Crown Vic (poss. previous Police cruiser)! Those make great chase cars IMO because of their shape and weight.

If I get that: it will be all decked out!!!

What is my-cast?

My old chase vehicle is retired and as of this year actually have a full time chase partner in which we use his chase van. Here are a few pics...

Even though we typically venture out in a vehicle with an excessive amount of antennas and decals making it obvious we are chasers, my favorite way to chase is incognito and often we chase that way, for a lot of the long trips vehicles are rented. While we still pack the rentals with a bunch of equipment inside the exterior is left a little more normal besides a couple of external antennas, chasing incognito makes it much easier to avoid unwanted tag alongs which often become a serious issue when we are chasing.
