    If you need a plug, go with this one.

    I'm glad I didn't see the videos of guys backing their driverless boats into the water, deploying their Ulterra, telling it to stay while they park the truck...that's pretty cool.

    I won't be long and we will just stand by and watch our trucks launch our boats then park themselves while our boat picks us up from the dock...

    Oh I looked at them hard and was about to buy it. At the end of the day, I just don't have loads of funny money to play with or the patience or tolerance to buy a product that will give me a ton of trouble. Give it a year or two and if the gen 2's turn out to be fixed as they say then yeah...I may upgrade. Until then, mine is doing everything I need it to do.

    I just changed out a set of those a few months shy of 7 years of service.

    I've had really, really good luck with them too - I'll keep using them until that changes.
