scarrry...aint it!!!!
it wont be long the insurance companys will install a black box in your ride before they will even insure you so they can monitor your driving habits and charge accordingly...they are looking for more ways to beat alot more profit outta you right now and they have just about used all up all their scams so they have to come up with something else and the black box is it!!!you see it already..they install the black box and if your a safe driver by the info they get from it they will give you a very small discount ....

I guess what I am getting at is that on star will be able to tell you are modded,they may tell you you need to go see a dealer and maybe void your warrenty if you dont go in

Still.... it better scare you. Maybe you guys are too young to have read Pig Farm or 1984 or to have watched the Watergate hearings. If you think government is not out to get you then you better do some serious thinkin. Big business having the ability to track your movements and activities had better scare the poppy out of us and it's going to very soon be inevitable as all cell phones and vehicles will be doing just that. They ARE watching and listening...... right now.
