    I follow that GPS blindly. Maps are nothing but propaganda pieces by the old school truckers to confuse me and make me late. I even use my GPS in my house when I'm in bed (which doesn't usually happen) with a girl. You can never trust your instincts..... Now back to the latest xbox war game to pretend I'm a tough lone soldier battling the return of the nazis in alien form.

    Easy for you to say. You can just unload a car and go cruise around in that instead.
