I started reading this and I thought, why the f*ck do they want a spicy "meat" product to open my car door. Then, it hit me. THAT kinda slim jim.

This. My point. Thank you.

LOL. So, ok, the NSA has already read all my e-mail, texts and IM's. They know who I call and who's called me. The Post Office tracks my mail. If the DoD now wants to go to all the trouble to "Jump" into my car's closed network, the way I see it... I'm fucked anyway. They'll probably have long taken me out with a…

On a serious note, it is kinda cool what can be accomplished with direct hardware access. But, until that kind of access become available through a wireless connection, it's just a sideshow attraction. Even when it IS wireless, unless it's cellular or something similar, I'm still not going to get too wound up about…

Ehrmergerd! So, if I'm cruising along and suddenly realize my car is being "hacked", I should reach under the dash and unplug the cable running to the OBDII port. Then, probably for good measure, I should bitch slap the strange guy sitting in the passenger seat with the laptop.

Typo, obviously. "Caught" should have been dropped in a revision of the post.

Yeah. We covered that here with another comment string. Thanks.

Good Catch. lol

Oh there's more than one. lol

Oh a pretty think like her will be real popular in the women's prison. Her dance card will be full till her release date.

In addition to more lights, it needs additional non-functional scoops. Maybe some faux brake cooling scoops or, I dunno. Be Creative.

Heh, took the words right out of my mouth. I'd drive that any day. If he gives up on this 100mpg bullshit and needs the money for rent, I"ll definitely buy that off him.

Cool. Well I guess I'm "followed" by jalopnik. Thanks, I never knew that.

Not being sarcastic by the way. lol One day my comments just started showing up. To this day I have no idea why or how any of this actually "works". On some, like Jalopnik and I think Giz, my comments show up. On the rest, everything I write appears grey until, well, until I don't know what. Some show up…

Yay?

Oh, PS - Showers in hell will do. Hot showers.

I guess in re-reading the article it did refer to the "racer" being killed, but the use of impersonal pronouns just led me to believe they were referring to the innocent guy's death. So, all in all, two people were killed.... hope it was worth it.

Unfortunately the article posted above didn't mention the death of the driver who crossed into oncoming traffic while racing. My heart goes out to his family as well. Not only do they have to suffer the loss of a loved one simply because he was a f*cking idiot, they also have to live with the grief knowing he killed…

Indeed. Sorry if I wasn't clear but BOTH participants are equally guilty, as well they should be, and equally culpable in this guy's death. Race on the street and something goes wrong, you're going to be in a world of hurt. Deservedly so.
