I have google fi. Sprint and Tmobile networks combined. Works alright. ~70 bucks for 3 phones with metered data. We're mostly on wifi anyway. Gotta buy your own phones, though. The Moto X4 is small, quick enough, and works fine for $150. We got ours for even cheaper on sale. When I traveled to Israel, it worked fine. I even got a signal in Turkey so I could find my parents in the airport. No switching sim cards. It all just worked. Also support has always been pretty good. I guess I'd prefer an OLED screen and more memory, but the newer ones have more memory already. Had this one a bit over a year. Not planning on replacing it for at least another year.

Our creek is running. I like the rain. And after it rains a lot, I like the sun. And after the sun a lot, I like the rain.

I love the rain. It's raining right now and I still have the urge to go splash in some puddles.

Oh, hell, he will be retired - so, there is nowhere he HAS to go.

Just pour a bit more brandy in a cup with a splash of coffee, pull up an easy chair in front of a roaring fire - and relax -

In doing so I found new appreciation of FT86club forum, Toyota nation seemed so much less active and the few questions I asked I get 1 smart ass reply "do whatever it says in the manual" which defeats the purpose of asking folks who have experience owning the car. After looking through lots of posts I found quite a few that are just retarded, and that's coming from a long time FT86club member so that should say something.

Point being I appreciate all you FT86club folks and Moderators, this is one of my favorite internet holes.
I joined the 5th Gen Impreza forum when the wife got her car, posted about 20 times and haven't been back in 2 years. Exactly the same as you just said. There is zero community interaction it is just ask a question, get and answer and go away again.

Those were my old DSM and Lancer forums. The DSM one just disappeared one day and didn't even leave a trace. The Lancer one was a bit more advanced but eventually got so over run with pop up and banner ads that it was no longer even usable.

Looks like a good excuse to slim down my Steam backlog to me. I'm looking forward to it in a few years!

Maybe he can pick up some extra cash by shoveling snow around the neighborhood.

Good idea. Although he may wish to upgrade to a rider with an enclosed cab -
