Yes....that too....and ruining decent cars that people would have happily paid for over having to buy NEW. Gods forbid anybody try to live thrifty.

It would be SO simple to raise the gasoline tax a penny or two. Therefore, I suspect a more nefarious purpose.

"let" is a pretty definitive word considering most people have little to no automotive repair knowledge. Its never too late to resist the change.

We let it happen, but we're powerless to reverse it? I think not. People rule, YES WE CAN shove it up their black hole.

Good luck! :) Keep us posted.

Well, its a story that will be added to Fallacies of Vision. The awards dinner, and the announcement about the winners, is on Nov. 2nd. I plan to update FOV content during that week following the contest. While I can't be sure of the timetable for the update I think it takes 30 to 45 days for notifications to be sent out.

When is that one book, in the contest thing, going to be available?

not directly, but the sentiment is definitely on target.

jinx!

LOL

I got a letter from my insurance telling me about technology that is in my car that can be used to see my driving habits(braking, speeding, seatbelts, etc. I assume) and save me money!! All I need to do is... I don't know, cuz I threw it away. A lot of this technology is already in the new cars, they are just waiting for a good time to tell everybody about it officially. Nosey farkers.

I'd like to tell them what they can also do with their little black box. Shove it on up there...waaay up there. My size 11 can help.
