    It acts as a mini mobile phone tower in your car. I've had them before but never one that would support four devices simultaneously or without a cradle that the phone had to sit in. This one only requires that the devices be close to the interior antenna. You have to contact your wireless carrier and let them know and they flip a switch somewhere that lets the booster talk to your wireless carriers network.

    I've had one on the big three carriers without issue, just set it up, call in, and they allow it on their network. If you drive through areas with intermittent or weak signal then consider one. With my older and weaker model where people had one bar is usually have three. Where they would have nothing I'd have one or two.

    Ouch that totally sucks. Looks like the front was pushed all the way into the radiator supports. Hopefully not further. Fingers crossed it's not terminal.

    I know it's not funny, but your front license plate made me giggle a bit. You think the deer was trying to butt heads with the elk on the license plate?
    Sorry, I know, bad joke.

    After a branch from my neighbor's 80+ year old oak tree feel around my shed, I decided it was time to put some old lumber to use and build a wood stand and take some dead growth off of some of my trees. While taking these branches to the compost site, I finally broke her in!!! Here's to another 100,000 miles and no more downed trees!

    Cut out some grip tape strips to stick onto the top of the sliders to make it easier for vertically challenged passengers to get in.

    Thanks for the info. I wonder if it would be easier to just remove the seats while installing the covers?
