If you don't already know this I am sorry. T-mobile sucks now. They jacked up their prices and nothing you have is available anymore. My faves is gone. Unlimited text for ten bucks is now 20. 700 minutes isn't offered on family plans. You are grandfathered in until you decide you need more minutes or want to upgrade a line with a phone that requires a NEW talk + text + web activation (any smartphone). I am currently paying ~$110 a month for 4 lines, 1000 minutes, unlimited text, and one BB plan because I am grandfathered in. The same plan with T-Mobile now that they have their "half the cost of Verizon and ATT" plans is ~$150 with a 2 year contract or $130 a month with no contract but you pay retail for the phones, so for the BB, Highlight, Gravity, and generic Nokia I have now I would have to put up over $1000 to buy the phones and then pay $20 more a month. Sprint has the best deal for a family plan that I have seen recently.

IDK about BMW but I know that Mercedes has used electrically actuated rollbars on it's roadsters. Nonetheless, when people wrap their cars around telephone poles sometimes bad things happen...regardless of the technology involved.

I have toured this site and it is very impressive. As far as getting in, they have a phone at the entrance to the silo that you use to contact an officer inside the silo and code in. Once he opens the first blast door you enter a corridor that is basically an airlock. The 1st blast door closes behind you and you have so many seconds to get to the second blast door phone and code in. If you don't make it or fail to code in correctly there were several truck loads troops on their way from nearby Davis-Monthan AFB.
