So, cars and bikes that are pre-tracking will be prized for their ability to skirt electronic remote limiting.
Cars are currently running OBD2 universal computer software. The pundits in the industry tell me that our doom will be on the horizon when we go to OBD3, which will allow the ECU to receive commands, not just send them.
And if you're gonna speed at night, for gosh sake, memorize your headlights, people!
Used to be easy... a Crown Vic had two big white square lights with two jeweled orange lights outboard of them. Newish Chargers have white dots for headlights with C-shaped white surrounding trim lights. Late-model Explorers have those little eyebrow trim lights over the headlights...
Forgot that back in April when it was 1:00 am, I had been flying since sunrise, had three hours of rural North Carolina back road to go, and was on Yellow Jackets just to make it to the hotel. So tired that I let that Dodge stick to my back bumper for a full ten minutes before I realized he was pacing me at 80.
Your timing is impeccable! I was just telling my wife that I used to be able to recognize the make and model of cars at night based on their headlights and tail lights. She didn't think that was possible (vehicles to her are just a way to get from A to B). I showed her your comments and she at least conceded that it was possible, but that I was a "car nerd". So thank you for at least moving me up one slot from "unbelievable" to "nerd".
