That's the point I was trying to get at. Well put.

one other thing we should be concerned with is what we do with our HHR. the computers in these car are scanning more than you know. these are things that could effect warranty. max speeds recorded, max rpms recorded and many other things. black box anyone? i tell ya there watching us !

Hey 06Chevy couple of questions for you
1) explain what "dose" means?
2) what is a "warenty"
3) what is a "daelership"?
Also can you have your friend find the black box for us so we can get rid of it
Thanks
