That post is so long I had to stop and take a dump about 3/4 of the way through. Not sure if I'm going back.

All my truck would provide is the most obscene and vulgar altered lyrics to popular songs anyone ever heard. I sing along to the original and change the words. I'm sure someone somewhere is entertained or would be if they dug into my data.

Yeah, it would absolutely suck if the operator of every motor vehicle on the road actually thought bad things might happen if they got lazy, or fell asleep at the wheel or something. Gotta protect people from themselves at all cost!

You can wish for people to be competent and take personal responsibility all you like but it ain't gonna happen. At least equipping cars with collision avoidance technology has a shot at keeping the incompetent ****s from smashing into me when I'm stopped at a red light.

Not sure I believe this story. I don’t believe there would be several year old data stored.

I don’t care if it listens.
I feel really bad if it could smell what happens in my car.

I am waiting on the day when automobiles are Gozar powered. Want to go faster? Have the chili with beans!

Might as well dream you're married to Salma Hayek.
