“Someone on this thread even went so far as to add “clicktease” to the keyywords. “

That was added because the headline didn’t match the story. The headline was written to get you to click but there was no meat in the story related to the headline.

Article says they’ve been putting the black boxes in cars for 20 years already.

Turn it around. Use your loyalty card to maintain a profile of your own design.

I've always been suspicious of my teddy bear.Ever since I was 3 he's had a sinister look on his face.

[steve86]

the fact that many safety inspections now include plugging into the OBD scan port. If the car won't "talk" to the state's computer, it won't pass the inspection.

Continues to amaze me that any American would choose to be a subject of that tyranny. Move or be ruled. No inspections here.

Inspection free state here

One day soon, all assets will be in a trust, and expenditures will all be in cash. Amen.

I’ll give you $500 if you can find an OBD-II connector in my ‘96 Sidekick.

And yes, I post with my real name: Queen Elizabeth.

The headline was written to get you to click but there was no meat in the story related to the headline.

I thought there was meat in the article, but it was a brief overview. IOW, as with many Kim Komando articles, it was more of an appetizer than a main course - NTTAWWT. :)

The “cashless society” is limited; here in NJ the illegal aliens and related black market is huge, and it is all cash.

It had more of a chance when more people were working; when people are reduced to poverty cash is king.

Can’t stop? Well, idunno....

1. Your car: Mine is a 2004, don’t think that will be a problem.

2. Loyalty cards: Over a year ago I switched to 100% cash for local buying. I do have a debit card and use it only for online purchases.

3. Your ISP. Maybe. Although I haven’t read my ISP’s name in any of the articles about this.

FWIW, buying with cash only sure simplifies balancing the checkbook.

“FReepers are the only people who think that clicking on links is a hardship.”

FWIW, I often FReep with an older laptop on which a couple of work applications and FR work well, but other sites (especially news sites) either slow it down drastically or outright lock it up. On another PC I’ll click the links (if it seems innocent), without the related grief.

If you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about...

[Vendome]

I notice she left off old girlfriends but, hey, no list is perfect...

[lulu16]

I would hear her program shorts between other conservative shows and wondered if she was a man or a woman. Good thing they play the bumper music “She’s a Lady” by Tom Jones.
