    Two quick observations. First,upon finally setting up my gf's straight talk mobile hot spot,i concluded that she has been carrying a mobile hot spot around for years.she did not think it was funny but i think that she actually derived humor or other out of my declaration.

    second,how in the heck does anyone use 10 gigs a month? 40 gigs a month? you people that do must the the 20 somethings that game online and all that new generation driver stuff. we surfed the net like crazy with gf's 1 gig of data or whatever from straight talk and still had 973 megs or mills or whatever left over. i can not imagine what all is done to use 10-40 gigs of wifi but then i am 53 and still ride 2 stroke dirt bikes. i love the aroma of premix.

    +1. I'm developing a premix scented deodorant so I can smell it all day.

    I downloaded 3 movies to watch a couple days ago, it took 4.5 gigs of data... It's not too hard to use up 10 gigs.

    Exactly...Video/Movies/TV takes up a lot of data.
    Been watching some of the World Cup games online...
    I don't have a TV with me in the Truck.

    Yep, video eats up the Gigs faster than anything else I do. I like watching documentaries on Frontline or watching movies on Hulu. My wife avidly watches Korean television shows, so with our shared plan at 30G sometimes we get pretty darn close to maxed out, and a couple times over in the last year.

    Generally movies...if the wind was blowing hard or heavy snow... our Tailgater wouldn't work. Let's see... GPS staying on "active weather overlay" "realtime traffic" ( which btw was very handy when going into/through a large city). Skype can take up alot of gig's if you do it alot.. I didn't my tablet wouldn't for some reason.

    If I had been gaming ( I don't and didn't have a pc that would handle the game I like playing...I use a 360) can really eat up the gig's.

    the old castrol premix that has that unmistakable smell. i still encounter it from time to time. where i ride mostly is the hilly/rocky/tree lined ne alabama trails that are quite variable in terrain.i have been known to turn around and go back through my own motul 800 premix aroma and then turn around to go back through it to continue on.excellent oil that has a great smell.nothing but 93 octane/100% pure gasoline for my engines from bikes to chain saws to lawn mowers to weed wackers to cars.i digress.

    yes i am a sick individual.
