Default Lucky Me!

Greetings From The Deep South,

My new employer is providing me with a take home 2500 Dodge. I think it's going to be a 2004.
The best part it comes with a gas card. I'm going to be spending a lot of time in it and I was thinking
I'll need these additions: Laptop holder mounted for driver use. Sirius radio hook up and a
Nextel / Cell i530 hands free set up. I'll take any and all advice, do's and dont's.

Thanks In Advance.

I've never like the Nextel harndsfree setup's, I could not hear on them and everyone always complained that I sounded far away. Maybe they have changed but I always did better with a headset.

for the hands free, screw the Nextel crap. If ur going to be driving a lot then go Blue Tooth, you wont be disappointed. Blue tooth enable you to put the phone anywher...pocket, glovebox, etc and still be able to talk on it. I would do that. Congrats dude.

I don't know about the nextel because I don't have it. I use a Blue Tooth headset with my phone and find it great. Check it out before you buy, you may change your mind.

The center seat in the Laramie Package folds down and is already set up for a laptop. Even has a power outlet there. I don't know if that would work for you, but I thought I'd mention it.

20Brew,

I Am on the same page as you. I'm real sorry to hear about your misfortune and I hope your gal is on a speedy recovery.
IMHO: A) Hand held cel phone use while operating a motor vehicle should equal a felony.
B) Lap top usage while moving should warrant public castration, or something equally bad.
