    ya but these people arent in the middle of installs...thats the way they drive their ride all the time...thats the weird part...

    ya, we get tons of people with old junker cars who drop like $1500 on sound systems, and they have at least $2000 in chrome on the car, but the car is like 6 different colors and rusted through all over the place...

    one of my pet peeves with installing is that i have lots and lots of people come into the bay to put like 3 15's in their expedition, but they have child's seats in the back for babies...it is SOOOOO bad for a small child to have that type of bass around them, their heart cannot handle that type of pressure...can give very bad heart murmurs...i just feel like telling them that they are ruining their childs future health...

    oh, after i posted this last night i had a female customer come in and ask me...
    her- 'do you guys install those GPS's on cars?'
    me- 'ya sure,garmin or tomtom?'
    her- 'no, those ones that let you track your kids car so you know where they are?'
    me- 'no, sorry, i cannot install a privacy invading device on your childs car, maybe try asking them where they are going?' and im thinking maybe you will have a real relationship with your child instead of a bunch of lies...

    needless to say she was very offended...does it really surprise her though? im wearing skate shoes with a large mohawk, do you expect me to help you spy on your kid??

    Nah, what offended her was the fact that the kid of hers she wants to spy on ALSO wears skate shoes and sports a large mohawk. She had a flashback of him talking back to her, hahaha.

    LOL yes!!! thats great!

    i actually really enjoy pissing these type of people off, i think its is SO immoral for someone to spy on thier children, maybe if they try being real and not a hypocrit, because everyone knows they did the same crap when they were a kid, maybe their child would tell them the truth and they wouldnt have to worry about them hurting themselves...

    its just these types of kids who end up staying 'good' throughout high school, then when they get to college they go crazy and end up drowning themselves with alcohol because they never eazed themselves into it...

    I wouldn't mind a GPS-based tracking device in my 928 so I can see what the mechanics are doing with it on teh "test drives" they always seem to take.

    I've got one of those Davis CarChips stuffed into the OBDII port on my Subaru. I originally got it to read the MIL codes, but it turns out to not be very good at that. Still, it records hours of speed information, and flags when I've been accelerating or stopping hard.

    I left it installed when I lent my car to a friend, but I never read the results... I didn't want to know. Maybe it will help me out in a traffic ticket or an accident, some day. In the meantime, it stays out of the way and I just forget about it.

    I can't honestly say I recommend the CarChip, but for the right paranoia, it might be perfect. Of course, your mechanic is probably the only other person who would find the chip immediately!

    i can completely understand doing something like that for reasons like keeping and eye on your own car, but to track your childs...i dont think thats moral
