    There's a high likelihood that your airbags wont work nor will your seatbelt pretensioners...and possibly your truck



    For those of you concerned with this in regards to collisions....most insurance companies are only going to request access to the data under a handful of circumstances such as a questionable hit and run or a minimal impact with injuries

    Often, your own insurance company will request your data to assist in defending injuries claimed by the other parties

    Also, before refusing consent to your insurance company, you should check your state laws and your policy contract as refusal in some states can result in refusal to pay the claim

    Probably because he went on Facebook and searched for your profile... There is absolutely no way that they know you just met with that person. Otherwise I would be getting friend recommendations from all of my random customers because they were in the same room as me. Heck, where are my recommendations for everyone I walked past in Walmart?

    Maybe, but he didn't stop by to see me in particular as we were never that close, he stopped by to see another co-worker that he was friends with.
    Just seems odd to me. And, well, everybody is carrying around a pocket GPS locator. And if the Facebook app is on the phone...what have you allowed it to access? I don't remember. If you've allowed it to access location....well then. Here we are both in the same room with our pocket GPS locators running the Facebook app.......I don't know.

    Likely the info was reported to carfax. Once there anyone can get the info.

    I have a leisure rate on my sportscar. I told them I would drive it about 5k miles per year. No commuting. Lowers the rate significantly.

    You ever talk about something around a smart device and then all of a sudden you get a pop up for it and it's something you've never looked up before :spy:

    Hawaii is one of them, instead of weight of vehicle they want to use your miles that you drive for registration purposes. I’m honestly okay with that my truck registration is 479 every year I maybe drive 5-7k a year. I hope they implement this.

    where I live there were rumblings of doing this to steal more money to fund infrastructure projects and after school programs, brought to u by the social justice warriors. I can definetly see this happening in the near future time to move toTexas

    Yup it just went up last year I paid 463. My 4Runner is 446 this year last year the same weight vehicle was 389. Every year we pay registration, and 20 bucks for a safety check.

    I will be moving to the mainland soon. Most likely place is Oregon. It’s way cheaper there and still great scenery. My townhouse here is worth 600k for just over 1000sqft. Can wait to have a real house 3 car garage and 3000sqft+ home.

    Sounds like you have a mutual friend in common. Occam's razor.

    The big bad tax man is going to steal all your money. Hurry and hide it under the mattress so the devil can't fix your roads or educate children!

    Purchased 6/15. So six months, give or take.
    Seemed a little premature, but I don't know their business..
