*daily google maps for live traffic
*youtube,pandora (right there to skip music)
*text messages handfree, most you will ignore but sometimes will get the "you forgot your laptop at home" comment that youd never see in you pocket till at work
*not having a huge phone in pocket
*Torque app
Magnetic vent mount in both cars
Thats a good clip. Yeah i too use google maps to avoid traffic. Also dont like my phone buzzing about in pocket while im driving
nice to have right there infront of you, essentially a head unit.
new glarus cruise great example for one
....its safer to have nav infront of you instead of 1 hand off the wheel tbh
you wouldnt keep a boost gauge in your pocket while driving would you?
touch screen to change music as well

I have this one:
It came with a rubber strap, and I didn't like it. Swapped for a perforated black leather strap and it looks much better to me.
I get that the rubber is supposed to be "sports watch" but to me it just felt cheap.
Yeah the stainless doesn't bother me either.
I don't "collect" them in the same way I don't "collect" cars. I have a few, but I have ones I like - like to look at, like to use.
If they wind up being worth more in the end, then great. Tho I don't anticipate selling my watches. They mean something to me. Casio = family, as it was a father's day gift. Tudor = celebration of paying down student loans. And my next watch, a Rolex, I've already decided will be to celebrate landing my VP title.
My phone usually stays in my pocket - or absolute worst case, in the door pocket of the car. Phone mounts just look so 1990s tacky.

All this. I have a phone mount that is in front of me, but my phone is so big that it takes up part of my view of the road :yikes:

Only downside to this, if you're ever in an accident, it will go flying and good luck finding it if it's a hard impact. When I was in the accident, I had my phone in the cup holder and it didn't go anywhere. But the tablet I have mounted to the rear headrest for my daughter went flying.

Well people suddenly hate ECS too... to the point where there's a whole FB group now dedicated to hating ECS. :iono:
Yeah. I didn't run either. Didn't trust the forecast. Showed up to coach and we had more instructors than students so I spent the day in the A/C talking to Shawn about some changes and improvements to the program. Should be some good stuff coming from LAPS in the future.
Now I'm signed up to run a PCA day at Autobahn this coming Friday, and the forecast has changed from bad to worse. Might be eating that day since I already paid, but I have 0 interest in running in the wet.
I've had a "dislike" for ECS for a while, and the shipping and customer service were my issues too. it is hilarious about that group etc, but seems somewhat "rightfully so". Also a damn shame about the Turner acquisition and all that happened there, but hence is capitalism.
oooooOOooo, can you give any backgroun on what the changes may be? I think they run a great program already, esp for the beginners and the classroom time.
oh wow, $220? did he lower the price? good stuff. I felt before that his prices were a tad on the high side, which discourages younger drivers, imho.
I've never bought the insurance, but had looked into it. I think in your situation jim with such a nice car, and knowing how hard you are ddriving out there, its probably a good idea.
Does shawn legit get a break/lower insurance premium with that passenger policy? not bad. I wonder how substantial it is, because most groups do allow passengers in either all groups or all but beginner. Is Laps now no non-instructor passengers at all? i may have missed that.
^ yeah, i got lumped into it too and then quit it later i think, was just silly.
I've never liked wearing a watch tbh, but i see a lot of pretty fancy ones with work meetings, etc. Some guys go all out,a nd some are just obnoxious and in your face.
