    no idea, I'm hoping so. Reviews were decent enough so I just went with it for $15. 30 day return so if it sucks I'll just send it back

    Bought a Q5 with a 3.0 V6 myself 2 weeks ago. Thing is a lot of fun to drive for what is basically an SUV.

    Question:

    Does anybody have any familiarity with "internet adapters" (or some other name)? Something you plug into the USB on your computer to give you access to internet virtually anywhere in the world?

    Does such a thing even exist? I want to say I've seen people use them abroad. Looking for something I can plug into my work computer while I'm abroad and still have good internet access/send and receive emails/etc.

    Maybe? I have a new Iphone that can be it's own hotspot, but I've only used it sparingly.

    I assume for something stronger I'd have to pay a monthly service fee

    Yeah, I have one of the old verizon bricks, but I do not know if it's international. It works well anywhere you'd have cell service. I think this would be what you're looking for:

    Got it, thanks. I'll look into that.
    That;s encouraging. Do you pay a monthly fee, like with a cell phone, so that it has service anywhere there's cell service? Maybe if I switch out the simcard for the country I'm in.

    I remember specifically being in bumfuck Africa, this Chinese guy pulls out a laptop, plugs something into his USB, and checks his email in some tiny village.

    I bet that the one I linked is the kind of thing that he was using. There may be some equivalent that runs through satellite rather than cellular. But, yes, you are going to be paying a monthly fee either way.

    I had the older model in my amazon wish list for about a year now and missed it on black Friday when it went down to $55ish. So don't need it at all, but will be nice to have.

    Welp. After a car wreck tonight wife’s Camry is totaled. Hit right on rear driver side door, right where my son was sitting. Everyone is fine but shook up a bit. Sooooo looks like I will have a Camry/accord/tlx (Acura) to add in the next week. Hopefully we get a good amount for the old car, but I doubt it.

    any advice for negotiations with insurance over the settlement for the car?

    I always recommend using your own carrier, provided you have rental and collision coverage. Your insurance company has an interest in keeping you happy and continuing to pay premiums. If you work with a local agent, even better. He or she will really want to keep your business.

    Once you agree on a value, your carrier will subrogate or be reimbursed by at fault carrier. If there was a deductible withheld, it will be refunded to you once liability carrier reimburses your carrier.

    If there is any question at all whether anyone is hurt, go to Dr. now and hire an attorney. Doesn't sound like your case is worth much but you could still pocket some cash. Do you have health insurance? What state do you live in?

    4 shirts for $80ish, not bad. These are the Tailored Fit No Iron Supima Pinpoint, great shirts for the money. Got 2 more coupon uses for 40% off your total at Land's End, includes Sale/Clearance too. Let me know if anyone wants the code.

    Sorry I only buy $100 dress shirts. Sometimes I’ll even staple a hundo to the front just so people know.

    Most of the time I remember to take the bill off before disposing of said shirt after its first wear.

    Most of the time.
