Car Based Phone Service v. Bluetooth

I don't know about anyone else but I'm a huge fan of the factory installed bluetooth software in new vehicles and I still can't figure out why GMC wants its customers to spend extra $ every month on a second mobile phone/GPS service when most mobile phones have bluetooth and some sort of GPS capability. I love what Nissan, Honda, and Toyota (Infinity, Acura, & Lexus) are doing with the bluetooth features they have available so all one has to do is link their mobile phone to the vehicle and bam you have hands free phone service in your car. Some of the services even automatically mute the stereo when a call comes and display the called id in the driver information window. When will the big three offer this same type of service?

Outdoors Too

After spending a weekend with my family in Illinois I have rekindled my love for fishing subsequently I've been looking at new boats. When I say boat, I'm really referring to kayak or canoe and I found a new "crossover" canoe/kayak called a NuCanoe. I'm really quite intrigued by the concept and like the ability to add on a trolling motor. I really like the adventurer model with the camo paint. NuCanoe.com
