What kinda wardriving setups do you guys run? Just wondering. Ill post up some stats and pics of mine later.

I don't.
I don't siphon other peoples gas from their cars either..just because they don't put a locking gas cap latch...even if they park in the street.
I don't run an extension cord into their exterior AC outlet..just because they don't lock it.
I don't hook my garden hose to their exterior faucet and water my lawn..just because they don't lock it.
When I need internet access on the go, I latch my laptop onto my Blackberry via bluetooth...and use my Verizon account..which I pay for.
Some people just do it to do it. I have a fiber connection at my house that really can't be beat. ...But I always do some probing here and there to the various WEP/WPA APs that my house is surrounded by.
Don't you know anything about hacking and such? Do it for the lulz!
Nope..that's my neighbors property, and I respect it..just as I expect someone to respect mine. I grew up to respect other people and their property. There's zero "lulz" for me in tampering with someone elses property without their permission.
I'm a person who likes to leave their car unlocked and house unlocked. Yeah, I don't live in the city, I'm more rural, but that doesn't give someone the right to break into my house or car just because it's unlocked. And if I catch someone doing so....I'm physically harming them as far as I can legally go without manslaughter, just to teach them a lesson. To me..THAT is lulz!
wardriving is a retarded term too.
blackberry + pdanet = lifesaver at the airport

Taken from "Wardialing" -- look into it
I use tethering too (iphone) for when I need to use the internets as well. Always nice to have a WiFi AP sometime tho.
It do it more as an experiment, I think I have only used an unsecured residential router once or twice to check my email (before data plans were really usuable). You really need to loosen up.

Am I missing something? Wardriving has always been about driving around and finding as many access points as possible, often entering them into a database along with GPS info.
It's not nor has it ever been about connecting to your neighbors networks or whatever. Most of the time, since we're talking about APs that are found while driving, they are nowhere near the persons house...
No offense meant here, and I know you don't want to live in fear, but not locking your house or cars is irresponsible.
Doesn't matter if you live 10 miles from the nearest sign of civilization, its stupid to live by any sort of "security by obscurity."
If someone wants to steal something from your car, they'll break a window to get it. Don't leave anything of value in there, and you don't run any risk if you leave your shit unlocked.
Whether driving 2 blocks or 2 states, I put on my seat belt.
Whether leaving it alone 2 minutes or 2 weeks, I lock my car.
Both are just habits that if I don't do, I feel something is terribly wrong. It's not about having something worth stealing or not inside, it's usually how easy of
an opportunity it is.
I don't.

I think the noob needs to learn the ropes and respect a bit before stirring the pot with respected veterans.

i used to war drive, it was funny seeing ALL the open defaulted wireless routers, you could sure see who read the instructions and who didn't. Till this day people still just open the box and plug it in, it works ? SURE they don't bother doing any thing else
The furthest I've ever got to "wardriving" was when I lost my internet connection due to a bad cable in the street, and I had a job due the following day (of course). I had to go outside and walk up the block till I found a open connection so I could download a driver
I've heard that using someone elses internet connection is now considered a crime if they don't know about it? Maybe only for public services?
I've also heard that WI-FI is considered a 'free for all', if it's there you can uses it. I don't know what's true either though.
Confusion with piggybacking
Wardrivers are only out to log and collect information about the wireless access points (WAPs) they find while driving, without using the networks' services.
Connecting to the network and using its services without explicit authorization is referred to as piggybacking.
The terms have been interchanged in the press, however. For instance, an EETimes article with the headline "WiFi user charged for not buying coffee"[7] refers to a user who "piggybacked off the shop's wireless Internet service for more than three months". When reposted by Engadget, the term "wardriving" was substituted, and the headline changed to "Wardriver arrested for snagging coffee shop signal".[8]
Typical wardriving software actually takes control of the wireless radio, making it impractical, if not impossible, to wardrive and piggyback simultaneously.
