I’m not buying any of this.

Wouldn't it be relatively easy to install a type of "governor" device into the odometer of cars that would track this sort of information? I don't know, just asking.

They will make it mandatory and it will drive up the price of SUVS. Then, of course, when it is found to be full of flaws they government will sell you the "fix."

I guess it would be relatively easy from a technical standpoint, but politically it would be like trying to force all the men in the state to date Maxine Waters.

Sounds like it will put a lot of car dealers out of business when Californians go to neighboring states to buy their SUV's (sans the extra $3500)....

Hmmm...got me thinking. All new SUVs will be mandated to have a LoJac or OnStar system. Then the legislature will create the California Department of Satellite Location and Revenue. Their job is to monitor 16 million vehicles and send you a bill. It will soon be bigger than the IRS.

I knew there was a reason why I will never accept a GPS in my car as a "feature"...unless I buy it myself.

Only in the PRK. Wish my mom would move so I wouldn't have to visit.

A while back the NC legislature toyed with the idea of taxing mileage. The best that me and a few friends could come up with was through your inspection. Since your inspection is every 12 months whoever inspects your car would report your mileage to the DMV who in turn would figure how much mileage over the average you drove and then send you the bill.
