oh, thats not one of your trucks??? and things are still gonna get funded. customer relations, advertising, heck, I bet the engineers there blew more money this week than it would cost to restore that old ride.

yea, there are alot of cool trucks that need a little care...

I feel for the next generation of auto restoration nuts. just about everything that can be has been and the vehicles that will be classics have so many miles on them its rediculous... 30 years ago, a 100,000 mile vehicle was worn out. 60 years ago, that was 50,000 miles.

Red bull is like water for me, and I don't want to shoot off to the moon...

A cuppa the breakroom's finest will do well.

the problem is, in 20 years, these cars will be that much more rusted or restored.

the cell phone makes almost as much of a difference as the service. I REALLY like my HTC. I had a razr until the first time I left the country and it didn't work very well. bought a Nokia in Brunei and had great service everywhere outside the US.

If you have a good caffine tolerance, change the redbull to a 5 hour energy drink.

FO, I agree with the cell phone making a difference. My Blackjack 2 work pretty well any where, my razr was good but not good everywhere. I had a motorola 579 (i think thats the number) flip phone, it was the best phone I ever owned. Never had an issue with it, it always work when i needed it too. Still have it and do use it when my other phone craps out.

I have had two Motorola phone. the microTAC and the razr.. I wouldn't say there was much of an improvement between the two.
I would take a Nokia over either.

Don`t Know About Your Coverage Area Bit Alltel Is King Up Here - We Are Bacilly A Fringe Area - A Long Way From The High Traffic Area`s .
As One Company Takes Over The Next And Pickes Up Their Towers Things Get Better . Like You Guys Are Saying The Phone Has A Lot To Do With It But The Number And Quality Of Towers Make A Big Diffrence Also.

alltel is ok here. not the greatest
I have a friend on the east coast that uses sprint, but his reception is horrible here. He says he has never lost a call at home. tunnels, elevators, doesn't matter.
