My last p/u was a 1987 D150 (Dodge) with a slant 6 & a 1bbl carb. Had an AM/FM radio, A/C and roll up windows. Don't remember exactly what I paid, but it was less than 12K. It was wrecked in Jan '96. Best truck I ever had. Really wish they still made stuff like that. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
The goobermint did it, just-fine.You can't kill those 225 cu. in. straight sixes.
Of course he lost, because he ignorantly agreed to it.I recall reading about a civil case where this infor was supeoned for a court case where the car owner had this information used against him. As I recall he lost.
Anyone buying a new car needs their head examined.Bad news: your car is a spy. If your vehicle was made in the last few years, you’re probably driving around in a data-harvesting machine that may collect personal information as sensitive as your race, weight, and sexual activity. Volkswagen’s cars reportedly know if you’re fastening your seatbelt and how hard you hit the brakes.
Case in point.Court rules automakers can record and intercept owner text messages
Try it and the gov will make it illegal.I've wondered how hard it would be to get a company together to buy (25-plus years old) Mexican-market cars, to bring into the States.
Another case in point.Law Will Install Kill Switches In All New Cars
I wonder what it's going to take to stop all this.
It boggles my mind that anyone does.I'm not playing the Surveillance State Roulette game.
That just means they'll try harder to hide the fact the fact that they are doing it.GM Shuts Down Controversial Data Collection Tool
Facing tremendous backlash, especially after a report from The New York Times spiked awareness, GM has reportedly shut down its tool which collects data on owners’ driving styles. Outrage dominated many corners of the internet after what we’ve known for years became more widely known, and quite...www.yahoo.com
It would be one more thing they could prosecute someone for - Trump, or Alex Jones, or me, or you - if and when we're in the Deep State's crosshairs.However, if enough people used one in their car, it'd be impossible for the gov to do anything about it.
....but if you are the only one driving around with one, you'll become easy to find. If 100 million people all around you are also using them, not so much.
Texas Is Enforcing Its State Data Privacy Law. So Should Other States.
States need to have and use data privacy laws to bring privacy violations to light and hold companies accountable for them. So, we were glad to see that the Texas Attorney General’s Office has filed its first lawsuit under Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA) to take the Allstate...www.eff.org
Is Your Car Spying on You?
By: Judge Andrew Napolitano|Published on: May 10, 2024|Categories: Current Events, Surveillance
Last week, Sens. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Edward Markey of Massachusetts revealed that automobiles sold in the United States with a GPS or emergency call system accumulate the travel data of the vehicle on computer chips located in the vehicle and the vehicle manufacturers have remote access to the computer chips. They revealed this is a letter to the Federal Trade Commission that, at this writing, has gone unanswered.
The senators complained that the computer chips in late-model vehicles retain the records of the location and driving habits utilized by the operator of each vehicle.

Is Your Car Spying on You? | Tenth Amendment Center
The federal Department of Transportation — found nowhere in the Constitution — mandates the specs for the computer chips installed in vehicles sold in the United States. And the recent amendment to Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act requires all persons and entities that...tenthamendmentcenter.com
I am getting ads, emails on things I was just THINKING about. I know that sounds delusional. But sometimes when it happens, I swear I did not type/talk, etc about the subject/object...And, will you (we, etc) trust them? To abide by rulings; or for the rulings to stand up?
Remember the Constitution? Amendment IV. Freedom, in one's person and papers, to be free from searches and confiscation.
WARRANTS, for government operatives to eavesdrop on telephones. Oh, how quaint...quaint and obsolete. Like, say, gold and silver legal-tender coins.
Try an experiment. Put your spyphone in front of you. Just start talking, into the air, about taking a Norweigan or Alaskan cruise. Say it as if you were having a conversation.
In five days your mailbox will be overstuffed with flyers, from all the usual suspects. The ILLEGAL SPYBOTS recorded that, and as programmed, SOLD that information to Carnival, et. al.
Now, if you talk about going to, say, Galt's Gulch...the information won't be sold. It will be given. And maybe there will be a future Waco event made out of what was given.
Because you are not secure.
Because of crap in cars - and refrigerators, computers, just about every high-tech gizmo made, now, plugged into the Internet of Everything.
The solution lies not in court rulings. The solution lies in REFUSING TO PLAY. To OWN this crap. When old cars are no longer available, a savvy entrepreneur could make a lot of money RIPPING ALL THAT GARBAGE OUT of cars.
THAT, permission from the Elites' Perpetuation Agency (through Climate Hysteria, etc) to actually strip off all this garbage, that, in fact, will make a car inoperative (from failures) five years from manufacture...THAT is what we need. The right to go in to a car YOU OWN, with wire-cutters...RIP that garbage out, install a new, simplified wiring harness, simple controls to the engine (fuel injection) and mechanical speed indicator. Want a radio? Goodwill has boom boxes. Is there even anything good on the air, now?
I'm just disgusted with this "Please, Sir, can I have more?" attitude we have. It's time to demand, not ask - and back it up with consequences for the kangaroos.
Did you happen to talk to yourself? Maybe look up related phone numbers?I am getting ads, emails on things I was just THINKING about. I know that sounds delusional. But sometimes when it happens, I swear I did not type/talk, etc about the subject/object...
Find out where the car's Telematics Control Unit is, and clip the power wire to it.Seems to me like we should be able to find and destroy the transmitter.
