So I left my phone on the kicthen table as I was getting ready for work today, Im the type of person that has about 4-5k txt messages every month, I listen to Xm radio all day on my phone and I use it for trapster while I am on the road. Was creepy not hearing my phone say Known Police zone or live police ahead.

Im having iPhone withdrawls at work...... Seriously I work in a quiet office building, So I need music or comedy to keep me going or else I just sit here and listen to the hvac cycle on and off every 10 minutes and work has stuff like youtube and yahoo radio blocked.

More worried about what kinda of txt messages are coming in on my phone sitting on the table that my grandma may be reading each time my phone rings. :doh:

And on top of that today I have to be here 3 extra hours! I think I may have to run home on my lunch break and grab it before I go nuts

I couldn't go without my cell phone for a day. My clients rely on being able to call me to place an order, and with as much running around I do it is the only reliable way to be in contact.

If you need some music, just visit http://www.slacker.com This is a free radio service that came on my blackberry, and it isn't too bad. Unless of course your employer has blocked it, in which case...sucks to be you man! LOL!! :D

Check out Pandora.com for free music.

I am also addicted to the iphone. Do you have a radar detector app?

My phone is a Moto Razr V3xx, the european model (euro model has dual cameras, whereas american has only 1).

I only text with it and rarely because T-Mobile doesn't support it correctly, and people sometimes can't hear me when I'm talking.

I left my phone at home Monday because I was too preoccupied ensuring that I grabbed my new iPod touch on the way out of the house... Haha

But sadly I canceled my AAA today. I can't afford it.

I had Premier, which was like $120 for me, and literally, I can't afford that, I only have about $20 and that's it. I had Premier because I travel a bit and didn't want to be stuck out of my way.

I dont even know what I have, I know I have tons of freebies because a AAA dispatched driver stole my car.


Yea once they heard about that and got the case number they couldnt believe it but it was true and I basically have unlimited tows within 100 miles for 5 years or sumtin

I have 3 free tows a year within 100 miles for $55/yr. It's a nice thing to have since I make sure to use them up hauling cars around. I got pissed last year though when they refused to tow something that was a couple days out of inspection.

I just got the basic package with my collectors insurance which cost $9.95 a year and covers $100 worth of a tow (i think up to 3 times a year) $50 for lockout service (3 times a year) and stuff like that. If i had gone for the higher end packages i ciould have gotten higher tow reimbursement, up to 5 days hotel in the event of a breakdown, car show reimbursement (if i paid for a show and a disabled car caused me to miss it) and a $2500 reward program which would reward someone $2500 if they helped retrieve my car in the event it was stolen. I think the high end package was around $50 a year. knock on wood i've never had a tow but i did have a blowout back in 06 which if i had happen again i'd have the car towed to discount tire since i have roadhazard protection on my tires instead of putting on the donut and risking bottoming out the bumpers on bad roads (the donut on the front of the car will do that, trust me i know)

There was a huge wreck w/ traffic jam only 10 miles after i got the tire changed which took 2 hrs of waiting for florida helpers because i had no jack. that 4 hr drive to tampa took over 8 hrs, ugh.

So pete, Ummmmm I think your car was stolen. ...



I may or may not have information on where it is at as well. :peace2:


And as for the lockout up to 3 times a year. If some one really locked their keys in there car that much I would smack them.

I do that multiple times a day, everytime I get out of what I'm driving and everytime I go to leave my house or a buddy's. It has saved me a couple times.

Its a long story, but a AAA dispatched driver was trying to set me up to get my car stolen back when i had my integra, luckily i was smart enough to prevent the situation from occuring

LOL i don't have the theft reward on my plan. And yeah i don't know how someone could lock their keys in their car that many times. i've done it twice in my life. neither car had keyless entry. the first time was in my 91 mercury cougar and i accidently hit the power locks when a friend of mine and i got out to look at a used car and i left the motor running. luckily it was a ford and since fords have the ignition key and door lock key on the same key, i kept a spare in my wallet. the second time was my POS work car 1998 plymouth neon and we had to slimjim it and it was kind of a bitch. That one was kind of dumb on my part since the car had manual locks. i usually kept the passenger side door locked and i must have gotten distracted or something and got out of the car and manually locked the drivers side door as i got out and left the keys in the ignition. My sister locked both sets of keys in my supercoupe with the engine running TWICE while she had it between thanksgiving and christmas one year because i had to leave it after some wheelstuds broke (long story short, some asshole named Edgar Tam loosened my lugnuts causing the wheel to almost come off at 70 and break some of the studs) anyway i had to take her car back down to college and she drove mine on the donut after the studs were repaired. I had to drive to michigan to get a used rim after i got home on christmas break. The car had an auto locking feature on the alarm where as soon as you started the car the doors locked and apparently she would reach in and start the car and go back in the house while the car warmed up. the second set of keys was in the console. It happened twice. you'd think after the first time it happened she'd have taken the extra set of keys out of the console and put them in the house. I think the only reason the keys were in the console was because i had brought the second set home so they wouldn't be in my dorm while i wasn't there and i decided to leave both sets and just take my dorm keys back with me since i had to leave the car at a shop.

speaking of keys, i did something dumb last night. i took a battery out of one of my remotes (from my buddies old 93 blazer) to use in my cd player's remote. i wasn't sure if the chevy remote was still working and i thought the battery terminal in the remote was not making contact so i tried to adjust it and it broke :mad: luckily a little jb weld fixed it and i tested it with my other remotes batteries. i ended up ordering 10 new CR2016 batteries on ebay for $3.99 shipped. That's pretty damn cheap considering they go for ~ $6 for a 2 pack in the store.
