    "Snapshot" from Progressive....

    I just saw this big brother sh*t on a commercial while I was watching House. "I just plug it in(to the obd2 port) and in 30 days, i'm saving money".

    Here it comes creeping in for real.....

    Your thoughts???

    Big Brother under the hood? read about this quite a while ago. if people accept this, it will be "mandatory" everywhere within 5 years I bet.

    this is not at all ok imho.

      Yes this prospect makes me very scared.


      The fact that there are people out there willing to give up so much privacy to save a couple of hundred bucks or less a year disgusted me and saddens me a great deal

                    I bet it still costs more than my current plan. progressive/geico/allstate can suck it.

                        Then it will be a major federal investigation, FCC involved and your made a fool of on TV to discourage others. Sounds about right?

                        How about no to this idea. It is all going this way though. Very troubling all these sheep.
