That's what I've done in the past - but at this point phone lines are kind of a formality rather than a necessity. I can open an account with any of half a dozen VOIP providers and have all of my numbers ported in a few days; I was just giving the old guy the opportunity to keep the business (which ...

Heh. I just got their reply. "The best we can do is 24 months." So, I'll start moving my shit to cheapassvoipproviderdotcom on Monday. I'm definitely not gonna pay $7,200 over 2 years for $1,500 worth of stuff I really don't need at all. I started priming the cancellation pump back in July...

Once I get the mirror (and a dongle from Amazon...

I am surprised the Beemer doesn't have headlight lens deicers ...also known as "halogen bulbs." :D I was driving home last night in our X3 There were a lot of things about my X5 I didn't love - it was definitely not the most capable off-road SUV...the diesel version I bought weighed nearl...

It was a sweet morning for a drive in the 996. Today is my pop's 81st birthday, so I drove up to Dana Point to buy him breakfast. Because my pop is damn cool for an 81-year-old, I got him welder for his birthday. He was stoked - he hasn't welded since he worked in a refinery in Texas as a teenager. ...
