    Ill always have an up to date moter carriers atlas in my truck .
    A GPS is just a mere suggestion to me along with Google and Qualcomm directions and I compare all 3 .
    Had a drop in old Chicago yesterday in an area I'm familiar with but got 3 different routes .
    I trusted none and got a hold of a Chicago ttr friend and verified things .
    Moral is trust nothing but your friends unless you know better or keep your eyes open .

    Ahh the good old days of the payphone. When I was a kid in the late 80s early 90s I remember calling collect. "Please record your name after the tone" then the recording would play to the person I'm calling " do you accept the charges from... Yo it's me pick me up at 6 I'll be waiting outside don't accept the charges!"
    And using those 2cent a minute phone cards to call my girlfriend. Having phone sex was rough back in the day with people walking by all the time.o_O:eek::D
