This all fits in with my previous thread about "deal breakers" a couple of weeks ago. Big Brother is watching. Here is how some of it works: Manufacturer wants to support the dealer network. They build in proprietary items to keep car owners coming back into the dealership. Computer updates could amount to emissions recalls or just a software update to eliminate a quirk that the car may develop somewhere farther down the line. Either way, it SHOULD be covered under warranty. Systems like OnStar may be convenient for some, but they are intrusive and surrender control of your vehicle to a third party. At some point, this could come back to bite you. Then there are the stories about hacking Jeeps. Through a WiFi connection, a third party can take control of your Jeep WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING IT!!!!! So, I suggest that you take all of this into account when you go shopping for a vehicle. Just how much of your ownership rights do you want to give up to have those shiny new bells and whistles?? You as the consumer still have the greatest power of all in this - the power of the wallet! All you have to do is WALK AWAY from some of this intrusive technology. Manufacturers will get the idea.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
