Using Guy Math to turn your car into a mobile hotspot

 

I guess I’ll file this thing under cool things I would like to own but have no possible justification for, unless I use Guy Math.

Autonet Mobile has a portable device that you install in your vehicle to make it a broadband speed 400kbps-800kbps, WiFi Hotspot with a range up to 150 feet. How cool is that?

I saw this at Advance Auto Parts and picked up a flyer that lists the basic info on the product. Monthly service is $29 a month with a 1 year contract. The unit itself sells for $400. It’s not cheap but if you want to start justifying things do a little Guy Math.

Satellite radio keeps going up in price and those radios are fairly pricey… Sirius is 16.99 a month and the internet radio add-on is another $2.99. If you want to convince your significant other that this is a good buy you are going to have to figure out where that other $9 a month is coming from.

Maybe try to convince her that you will park the car close to the house and use it to replace the home internet. If she falls for that you can actually thank guy math because you will actually get the hotspot and come out with a profit.

Just hope she doesn’t ask what happens when you aren’t home or how the WiFi is powered when the car is off. Guy Math is not an exact science, you need to talk fast and get the purchase before she starts thinking about it too much.

If you pull this off don’t be too happy with yourself. As long time user of Guy Math, I have discovered something that women do called, what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.
