    Progressive "My Rate" insurance

    I just saw this

    http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/28/progressive-myrate-drive-monitoring-device-goes-national/

    But I could see that being good for cars you don't drive a lot, maybe a truck you only drive on the job or weekends or something.

                      Progressive MyRate Hackable?

                          sounds like just one more step big brother is taking to control our lives.
                          I hate progressive they fucked me over for a long time and were forced to pay me back by the courts.
