Nice! I know what you mean about cleaning them, It hasn't snowed much here this year, but the wife's Yukon still had salt on it yesterday and looked nasty so I made the 15 yr old wash it yesterday while it was nice and warm. Like I told the wife, any chance I can get to get that crap off of it, but they are few and far between.
@ gibsonsynthetics, nice ideas indeed! I like the turning the vehicle into a mobile hotspot of sorts. You should be able to at least tether to a mobile device and as long as you have signal, etc you have the internet you need/want. In urban areas that should be real good, while it could be spotty in rural areas. I am out in the building right now tethered to my blackberry because I need to get a wifi signal booster. The speed is comparable to cable internet.
