It'll take me three week, two bottles of aspirin and 4 quarts of gin to read all that.

Use good Gin and you'll need less aspirin.

I think there needs to be an affidavit signed that says if a Politician votes to enact a bill they must swear they've read, understood, and approved each line in the bill. No more of this pass it to see what's in it bullshit.

If you don't think the .gov and the insurance companies are going to track every move we make, you have another thing coming. Big brother ain't got shit on .gov.

That would be fantastic if it worked, but in all seriousness, once they get some craziness like that going, there is no turning back. Then the fines start when people start bucking the system. Get randomly pulled over, cop plugs in, all info is then in .gov and insurance hands. All kidding aside folks, this shit really scares me. People can think tin foil hat all day long, but this stuff is coming for real.

I figger on code crackers to take care of the rest, if needed....

or I can just splice wires around it.....

or more properly my son can, I'm age 68 too old to REALLY care....



The thing I don't like is the automatic tag scanner crap, they run the tag to see if insured, license problems of owner, all automatically via the computer in the car....

Looks like the last vehicle I buy will be a 2014. The C7 will be out by then, right?

I didn't read ALL of that, but I did read Sec. 31406...

The Corvette has come equipped with a "black box" event data recorder since 1997.

While I don't feel they need to be mandated by Gov't, the fact is, most current cars already have them.

Let's just say I'm a little distrustful.

A better question is what cars don't have them today? Don't all cars with airbags have some type of black box that records the conditions at airbag deployment?

Hell, I can start my truck with my cell phone as well as find my fuel remaining and use it to tell me where I am parked.

I guarantee that the .gov wouldn't have a problem figuring out everything they wanted to know about my driving habits.

I'm not a fan of that AT ALL.
