    My battery in my vehicle was good enough to charge my phone without having to waste gas.

    Altec Lansing life jacket is a blue tooth speaker. It charged 3 phones completely. The sound is great, its waterproof, and cost around 90$

    Buzz, in all seriousness, be careful doing this with the car not attended. There have been numerous fires caused ( including an Apple device personally) by charging these devices in cars. Most new cars now kill the lighter feature when car is turned off.

    I actually have a hard wired inverter that's always on and I've yet to have any issues.
    Now if I used the inverter thru the lighter than it will pose a bigger risk of overheating the lighter socket.
    My new truck still has constant juice even when turned off.
    I guess we can eliminate calling them lighters also because I don't remember the last time a vehicle came with a true lighter.

    Is the snow sticking to roads at all in 40/42 area?

    Do you happen to know how long those hold a charge once they are fully charged? I have a couple of the smaller ones (they were freebies).

    One of mine still had a charge after like 6 months, I don't think it was still full, but maybe 70%.

    It's a little slick in my neighborhood.

    It was very, very bad out there this morning. Saw at least 100 cars from US70 to RTP off the road. Worst were the US70/I40 area and the US1/I40 areas.

    The secondary and smaller roads really were the worst. The highways were not horrible, except for the overpasses.
