Cell Phones:
My first cell phone was a Motorola Brick. I was test driving a truck at a auto auction one night, I'd just bought. And thought I put my BRICK in the seat with me. But I left it on the bed rail. And as soon as I got squared up on the road and punched it, I heard it hit. The phone went one way and the battery went another. I turned around went back thinking it was toast. Picked it and the battery up, put it back together and all was good. Put a few scratches on it, but otherwise it was fine.
And when I got my Motorola Mini Brick I thought I was Hot Snot. Half the size and half the weight.
I started using a call phone in 1988 for my car business. Back then there were no deals on usage. They charged for every second. My average cell phone bill was a minimum of $1000 a month and as high as $1500. But it made me money and of course it was a Business Expense! About a 90% right off. And always kept a spare battery in my back pocket. I was on it about 12-15 hours everyday. If cell phones caused brain cancer, all of us car dealers would've been dead, many years ago. And haven't been without one since.
Oh the memories!
