Cell phone sound quality is noticeably worse than a pots line or T1. I purposely use a landline when I need to make an important call. Presumably the call quality of VoiceLink is the same as normal cell phones, which is why modems (ie fax,

The GMC doesn't look like it has crumple zones at all (do those have crumple zones in the frame, like the new F350s?) The front tires on it are pointing in different directions, I bet the IFS is damaged. It wouldn't be that hard t

Lead is actually not that cheap. Lead ingots are $6/pound (at McMaster), while steel is $.50/pound (from Alibaba, but that's a minimum purchase of 1 ton). Scrap lead is around $.40/pound, versus steel at $.02/pound.
