Yeah, On Star. Hey, you already have this stuff in the OBD2 systems on your new cars that record the highest speed and driving habits. I'd hate to read the chip in my old truck.

OBD3 is coming, and Johnny Law will be able to read your emissions system performance, tell if you haven't been servicing you car, how fast you were going and when, etc.

"information age" LOL

Which is why we've pulled the fuse on the OnStar box.

List of cars I own.

69 Land-Rover 88"
73 Land-Rover 88"
70 Jeepster Commando
70 Triumph GT-6
71 Triumph Spitfire
65 Willy's P.U. (Chevy 1 ton axles, 454)
84 30' Mororhome (440 Dodge)
70 Rokon RT-340 motorcycle

You may see a pattern here, NONE of them have significant "emission control" packages, an ECU, or a computer chip.

Unless I can find out how to disable the OBD's and any other Big Brother trash I will never own anything newer than these.
