our other car is a 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 XL My first car was a '64 Galaxie 500 -- I bought it in 1974, then I STUPIDLY traded it in when buying a friggin' '73 Pinto.
One of the worst auto-related decisions of my life.

Why the Republicans wouldn't advocate policy that strips Americans of their freedoms and liberty would they? You forgot your sarcasm tag.
Dont be fooled. Most Republicans in congress are so called moderates, meaning of course that they are not really against big government.
Big government Republicans will seen no problem with this intrusive and in reality anti-freedom bill.
This bill essentially makes it mandatory for a driver to keep a detailed diary of his travels that can be subpoenaed in the event of an accident (or anything else they want to pin on you).

Going to the wrong place, or driving the wrong way could flag you for suspicious activity (in theory). Not only in theory. I remember reading about a test in the Netherlands a few years back where they would monitor your car's location, and if you were speeding, they would actively slow it down! Guess it didn't catch on, because I haven't heard anything further, but the general implementation is only a bureaucrat's penstroke away.

How do you think “Progressive Insurance Company” used their ‘Snapshot’ system in your new car? The car would HAVE to be wired for such a collection of data.

THey will just assume you are guilty if the box is tampered with. Guilty of what? Driving too far too fast?

“This will be a first step to states taxing us by each mile we drive.”
You got it, that is the real agenda, all other reasoning is just smoke and mirrors.

I suspect the prices of used cars will skyrocket in 2015.

this is horrible news....I don't mind driving older cars but looks like I'll never be able to have one built after 2015....I wonder if this crap applies to foreign built cars....
why isn't this being stopped?

why isn't this being stopped? Because legislation goes to the highest bidder.

Guilty of whatever the reason is they decided they needed to access your black box. An accident, a disagreement with a cop, a nosy neighbor calls to complain about your driving. Whatever the case may be.
