I’m traveling to Germany from 7/25-8/8 and I really need a GPS as I’ll be renting a motorcycle while I am there. I know it’s a long shot but I don’t currently own a gps so buying + upgrading would be around $200. I can rent one online but I’d rather not. Thanks! ---

No, lol. This phone is only 3-4 years old. I had the 8300 before that in like 06 when I switched to verizon. I like the $30 a month bill and I don’t need the internet in my pocket 24/7, I’m on here enough as it is. Plus a replacement is only $20 on ebay, I keep a spare in each of my vehicles. t9 ftw! _anyways_ the phone thing isn’t really an option for me ---

No, just a CB 500. I was going to but it doubled the rental price and I don’t ball that hard these days. So far the tentative schedule is Munich the 26th/27th (BMW/Welt, etc), Saturday go to Stuggart to see Benze/Porsche, then head to the Ring to catch a ride on the Ring Taxi, all spots are full but I plan on hanging out there all day. I have to return the bike Monday before 11. Then its train to Heidelberg for the FSAE race through the rest of the week. I fly back the 8th so I’ll have a few extra days after comp to hang out too.
