Oh, gotcha... Missed that somehow. DUH!!

I use Verizon for my wireless access, and I get pretty good rates here in town. Over 1 Mbps DL speed. Part of my job is testing data speeds (in fact, that's what I was doing today, and will finish tomorrow). Unfortunately, it's done with a dedicated connection, not open internet so I can't play when I'm testing. BOOOOORING!!!

Tomorrow one will be driving a 96 6.5L Chevy 2500 2wd and the other an 86 front wheel drive escort. Any ideas on how to get them back besides jacking them up?
JD, guess it's not too late to add an idea. Did this to my cousin after his wedding reception. Worked too! Put bricks tightly in front of and behind each wheel and the vehicle won't move. For some reason they can't get over the bricks blocking all 4 wheels, especially an automatic. Put some gravel or sand over the bricks and they won't see them, at least not right away. And this won't do any harm to anything.

I don't know, Cris. If I tell you what to say, it won't be as fun...

I'll go review the power tools comments and see if there's something there that puts air in my balloon.

If that doesn't fill your balloon with air let me know and I am more than happy to blow it up manually

Joe, this may be a question you can answer...all of the mobile broadband plans I'm looking at are based of a certain GB of usage. Both Verizon and Sprint have the same price for 5GB. My question this: is there any way for me to tell or test what my monthly average GB internet usage may be?
