Creases are tough, but as long as the paint isn't cracked, there's a chance. The plastic piece underneath the rub strip will obviously need to be replaced, but that could be paint matched without much issue.

Does anyone else think the insurance company monitoring your driving is a bridge too loving far? Holy poo poo, I would pay extra to keep snooping actuaries out of my loving business. E: STR, or other goonies, what app do you use on an android phone for monitoring a obd2 dongle? I just had one come into my possession.

I work in health insurance and there's no loving way I would give out any info. The problem is, if enough people fall for that the insurance company is going to assume you've got something to hide by opting out. Also not having OBD2 is great because you can just say there's no way you can use it.

I wont move to a newer car because black box technology and nannies (can't disable ABS without going into limp mode etc). I dont even have an ezpass for the highway because I don't want those fuckers knowing where I am. No way in hell insurance companies are tracking me.

Yes. I threw a fit when my fiancé decided to get one for her car. She of course won out because it is her money and her car. I MIGHT have driven it above 90mph for a little while a week or two later though  here's an idea insurance companies : give people good rates for not being the cause of ACTUAL ACCIDENTS

I think I'm over having this loving car. Twice now loving idiots have fired grocery carts off it and yesterday it left a nice loving dent. I yelled at the guy but at least he apologized before heading off. The last guy ran to his car and peeled out. I'm so sick of trying to keep a pretty, nice looking black miata and other people loving it up. I think I'll just move to some old shitbox for $2500 and stop giving a gently caress about it. So loving angry

88h88 posted:We are the worst for that kinda poo poo, we could in theory just keep you locked the gently caress up and escort you to the plane to make sure you don't try and escape to live in our glorious land but nah, we prefer to gently caress you around for hours at the airport questioning you and send you back to your country of origin instead. This happened to me. My wife is from the UK and when we wanted to get married we decided to do it there since all of her family is there, as is a large portion of mine. Because of work commitments we had to take separate flights. She went by herself, and I followed the next day with my mom. So it's a 9 hour flight from which I didn't sleep and we are in line to see customs and I say to my mom "just to be safe, don't mention the wedding." As we approach the counter I get a very uneasy feeling. The customs guy asks "What is the purpose of your trip?" my mom says "visiting family.....oh and he is getting married." the customs guy replies "Congratulations, where is your entrance visa?" I said "what visa?" He said "please step this way." They bounced me back the next day. In all of my research of what it takes to get married in the UK I never saw anything about needing an entrance visa to get married, but whatever it all sorted itself out anyways. Incidentally, they interviewed me after I had been detained and I asked why I was being detained so long, why didn't they just bounce me back on the next flight home. The customs agent said "we want to make sure you're not trying to live here as an illegal." I gave him a funny look and said "I'm from Canada. Why the hell would I want to move here? That's a step down." He said "yeah that's understandable."

You're goddamn right it's too loving far. At some point they may be pushing them so hard that having a monitor is essentially the default and you have to pay a shitload to go without... at that point I expect lawsuits to happen. I'd hope for the ACLU but let's face it, they won't take up the 2nd Amendment and they probably won't take up cars either because of their donating base. I'm ok with your basic black box that records speed and braking status etc. at the time of a crash, but I don't want some loving snitch in my car telling Geico that I sometimes go 75. Use Torque for OBD2, it's pretty cheap and seems to work well.

As long as it is strictly voluntary and for the purpose of rate discounts it doesn't really bother me - I can choose to opt in or opt out. That said, I do have a bone to pick over the issues I pointed out earlier, when they rig the system so that less of one tenth of one percent of drivers - those who only drive during early afternoon, always drive 5 MPH under the limit, start braking a quarter mile or more away from the point of intended stops and/or only drive 20 miles or less per week - will actually qualify for a significant discount. Too much stick and not enough carrot to make it worthwhile, even when I was consciously trying to drive the way they wanted I still managed to trigger "hard stops" and only driving during what they consider low risk times is only possible if you're retired or unemployed and stay home most of the day.

It's almost like their normal rate based on driver age/record/vehicle is actuarily accurate for the bulk of the people they underwrite and only a small percentage have such a conservative and minimal driving pattern that they can offer a discount.........for example to people who stay at home most of the day.

I guess TL;DR of what I said is "insurance companies are scamming people into opting in to monitoring by offering discounts that 99.9% of drivers won't be eligible for." e: I mean, if you actually believe insurance companies are doing this to be nice and offer rate discounts to .01% of their customers and not because its a backdoor method to get reams of data that will be used to model future rates I don't know what to say.

I have EZpass because I would go insane commuting otherwise, I aint carrying quarters and poo poo. Insurance companies can suck start a shotgun if they think they are monitoring me however. gently caress them. If they decide it's mandatory, I will switch companies immediately, until there are no non-monitored insurance policies available anywhere. Then I will use my knowledge of NMEA 0183, SAE J1979, ISO 11898, and ISO 15765 to blue pill the motherfuckers into seeing me draw dicks and smiley faces all over Colorado at 35mph

Maybe you're not aware, but pretty much every state/region that has an EZPass-like option, uses EZPass to monitor subscribers on major highways, even when it's not for tolling purposes. To my knowledge, the only place it's been legally challenged was in New Jersey, where the state claimed the data was anonymized. When it was shown it wasn't, they recanted, but no ban on tracking EZPasses outside toll areas was ever issued.

Like Germany's Maut system for trucks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LKW-Maut That system made it so trucks always take the A roads instead of Autobahns to avoid tolling. At least that's what they were doing in 2006, the last time I was back home.

It's me, I'm the bastard helping bring in a car monitored future. 3 years back when I got my first car (a peugeot 107 which is still my current car) I was looking at £1800 for insurance Opting in for a black box knocked £400 off that with promises of lowered insurance faster. As I didn't have a job and needed the car to get a job I couldn't refuse. When it came to the first renewall the price halved, then the next time it was at £400. That simply wouldn't have happened on regular insurance. I will probably ask how much it is helping out at my next renewal and get it deactived then.

Everywhere and anywhere you see one of these perpendicular to the road:  Sometimes with the bulges top and bottom, sometimes without. The large-scale readers that you see at the toll areas are sometimes also hung under the large road-spanning signs. I know a few had been spotted under overpasses, as well. EDIT: The radar-gun looking things are actually probably for stopless weigh station systems that've been setup nationwide. The Prong Song fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Jun 18, 2015 |

As for custom uploadable firmware, yes, any such thing would come blank and you'd be on your own, perhaps with a library to use. Similar products already exist for testing OBD2 debug tools, and I've considered buying one to learn more about the protocol (since the documentation is incredibly dry and I'm responsible for designing our OBD2 compliance system at work) but they're very inflexible and use the world's worst microcontroller family so it's pretty annoying to use.
