If you get in an accident they can tell how fast you were going, how hard
you hit the brakes, and how far you skidded. Everyone is stalking you. And
it is all perfectly legal.

Scary, Huh?


You bring up an interesting subject. When I bought my new truck .... ooops
... forgot JimH still reads here ....

Anyway, as I was saying, when I bought my new truck it had an optional GPS
"locater" already installed.
It is advertised as being better than having LoJack, according to the
salesman.

I asked the salesman to take it out, because I didn't want it. No can do,
he says. But, after reading the directions that came with it, there is an
activation process required to initialize the service's tracking of your
vehicle.
I took the activation process paperwork out of the truck and put it in my
desk in the house.
If the truck ever gets stolen, *that's* when I'll call up and activate the
GPS locator service.

There is something bothersome to me about unknown people having the ability
to track down your location whenever they want and for whatever purpose they
want. I don't want the world to know I am 1000 miles away from home,
driving my truck. I want them to think I could be pulling up the driveway
at any moment.

Same with the new cell phones. I made sure mine did not have a built in
GPS transmitter.

He has a point Reggie.
Forget about his family.

Become obsessed with what he owns or recently bought instead. *It's the
proper thing to do, you see.

And be VERY jealous of it, too!

That little boy of yours getting any three-day passes?

Maybe you should lay off other folks' families.

Get it?

A Harry Krause truism:

"It's not a *baby* kicking, beautiful bride, it's just a fetus!"

You just insulted my family while asking me t lay off other folks
families.

What insult.. It's not what someone calls you, it's what you answer
to.

You have slid further down the gutter John.

1. *Why are you such a bitter old man?
2. *What families should I lay off of?

Uh, mine, loogies, Johns', et' al...

BTW: *My son, a US Marine, is a far better man than you. *Your insult
to him defines the type of person you are.

First off, he might be better, he might not. Either way, you are not
him and as long as you keep siding with trash like Harry and Salty,
the most vial here, and insulting our children, you are putting
yourself up as fodder for retribution. You say things to hurt folks
here, they say things back, that's what happens when you troll. Your
kid is no more off limits than mine or Loogies, being a Marine has
nothing to do with it. My oldest does volunteer work for immigrants
and impoverished, and families of military personnel from other
countries, so does The Mouse. We as a family and small business do
volunteer work for Paul Newman's Hole in the wall gang camp which
serves children with blood born disease and their families. Are we any
less than him? If you wish your family off limits, play by your own
rules, don't cry and use the "service" card. We all do what we can...

Get a life Jim, stop living someone else's..

Let's get something straight................I do not *side* with
anyone.

You also need to understand that despite what Loogy says I do not
insult family members. *On the other hand you, John Herring, Reggie,
FL Jim and Loogy have repeatedly done so. * *I am fair game.......my
family is not.


What have I ever said about your family that was negative? And you
ASKED FL Jim to post your son's stuff.
Now, want me to post the things you've said about my family, JohnH's
family, and Scotty's?

If I re-post the nasty untrue things that YOU have said about me, my
wife and my children, will you vow to leave rec.boats and NEVER, under
any circumstances or under other handles post here again?
Sounds like a reasonable bet to me!

I was just trying to shake up JimH a little.
There is always tower triangulation. Better to turn it off and fabricate
a tin foil hat, like I'm sure JimH is doing right now.

There was a movie that has been out for quite while with Denzel
Washington. It was about implanting receptors in the heads of subjects
and brainwashing them to do as suggested. One of the subjects went on to
be a presidential candidate.
I wonder if......................nah. It could only happen in the movies.

Speaking of which.. Tell me about your Sprinter.. I saw them listed
from 14,000 to 100,000 in a quick search, I suppose I must have missed
somethig but I was in a hurry. I am looking to trade my Blazer in for
something I can use as a hauler for a couple of bikes. What kind of
gas mileage do you get in yours? Not crossposted...

Rowdy Mouse Racing, looking for hauler version 2.0

-----------------------------------------

I assume you are looking for something you can eat/sleep in as well.
Otherwise, why not a simple trailer?

But, to answer your question, our Sprinter ... set up as a mini RV by
Pleasure-Way ... gets a solid 20-21 mpg on the highway doing 65-70 mph.
Slightly less (18-19 mpg) *towing a trailer. * It's the 2005 model, 170-inch
(long) wheelbase with the 5 cylinder diesel. * Still has less than 4000
miles on it. *We rarely use it, but Mrs.E. refuses to even think of selling
it because she thinks it's "cute".

Eisboch

Nope, not looking to buy yours but I am looking into more "full size"
vans. As to a hauler, I would rather not have to pull a trailer if
possible but still want two rows of seats and real doors, not a hatch
on the back. Can you stand up in those things if you are say, 5'7"?
Just wondering, but the gas mileage sounds better than I expected. Of
course yours sounds nice, does it have a kickin' a 8 track and shag
carpet on the ceiling, I always thought the waves in the carpet as the
wind went over it was cool

Probably looking to trade for something used, but the more I read the
more I like it.. The Mouse and Mrs. Mouse hate em' though.. Think they
are ugly. You know me though, I am a tool guy, and as a tool those
things look perfect.. ****, looks like it gets at least as good
mileage as my Blazer. I hate dragging the bike(s) in and out of the
house every night. I think with Lojak and a decent alarm, they would
be pretty safe in there...

The Onstar system is GPS based, so they can find you in an accident. Or if
the vehicle is stolen . . . maybe. If the thief removes the little antenna,
no more tracking. Soon there will be no phones without the GPS reciever. I
actually worked on the first iteration. Since the 911 emergency system has
a hard time finding a cell phone, they wanted the ability to help find the
phone in an emergency. Have not heard of any tracking of vehicles for
divorce settlements, etc. via the onboard navigation system, but the Fastrak
transponders have been.
