2. What is the equipment above the rear view mirror which when viewed from the outside shows 4 silvery dots arranged in a square?

Skynet!

Skynet!

Can hardly stop laughing, that's so funny. Not. Don

 

[JSolo]

This car does have skynet built in... It's a connected car - lte modem part of the infotainment system...

Skynet... it's coming.... (or here already)...

It'd be funny if it was a joke. Autonomous cars will be the norm. Your "nannies" will be the driver, and you'll be the passenger. I'm giving it 20 years maximum until getting a license is much more difficult than it is today.

Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I may be dead in 20 years, so then it's ok

Don't doubt it, I don't think I'll be around to see the worst of it. I can drive just fine w/o all this "helpful" trash.

None of this protects you from total moron drivers. TX drivers really, really stink. The other day I was on the I10 off ramp in the straight ahead lane looking at the traffic light. Light went green, I started to cross, absolute fool female in the left hand turn ONLY went straight ahead and almost hit me. NEVER a cop around to cite such clowns. Don

My two bitcoins. If you don't like the "nannies" and you don't like "skynet"... then live with the Amish and off the grid (to a certain degree). No offense... but it is what it is. Blaming it on the government is blaming it on you. You are the government. I mean we are the government. As someone said earlier, people want it...so it is and so it shall be.

Live with the Amish? YOU are out to lunch, not me.

"Blaming it on the government is blaming it on you." Pure rubbish. Biden is NOT my government, think I can do anything about it?

People want it? No surveys I've seen to support what you surmise. Have a survey? Show it.

Safety Nannies suck and it should be easy to kill them, my car not theirs.

I suppose you agreed with Ralph Nader, his book killed both the first generation Corvair and the second which had none of the flaws of the first. Don

Yes, live with the Amish or go off the grid on your own, that IS the only way sir.

If you're in the U.S., Biden IS your government. Trump was your government. As a matter of fact, all U.S. presidents since you were born and lived in the U.S. was/is your government.

No survey's needed... the nannies are there....check.

Your car is their car...lol. One day you'll get it.

I agree with what makes sense...and, well you do not. Brining government into a conversation about why "nannies" aren't easy to turn off and why they are on your car. I say...you build you're own car from scratch! Yes, that's it. Back to the Amish.

Btw, I agree to disagree.

Wow, it's YOU who is out of touch. Live with the Amish, you're insane.

I worked in technology my entire 38 yrs, 21 yrs as a commissioned officer in the Navy and what they called a proven weapons specialist. I worked the Trident SLBM warheads for Sandia National Laboratories, sister to Los Alamos for 17 yrs, the last 7 I was the NNSA, Sandia field engineer for those warheads.

That doesn't mean I have to sit idly by and accept trash thrown at me by a dofus government.

You said "I agree with what makes sense..." I think that's a huge stretch of logic. If you're logical, this nation is most assuredly screwed.

The Biden admin wants 80,000 new IRS agents to look at your IRS returns. You like that, go for it and let them snoop on every financial thing you do.

Time to see if I can block you, I've had enough of your absurdity. Don

Don, I "mostly" agree with you. My advice is don't get worked up or even waste time responding - sounds like he's trolling you.

You may well be totally correct. I don't understand what I've said on this forum that warranted trying to fish me in via trolling. I'm simply a guy who likes cars and is very pleased with the new Stinger GT1 hoping to learn from those with more time in the seat. Don

^^The ignore button exists for a reason. Sadly i've had to use it several times now.

As I said to Kram, I guess some people get a perverse pleasure out of trying to anger others just for kicks. This was my first use of ignore, hope it isn't a trend. Have a good weekend. Don

Kick against the pricks, man.

Hi, noticed that we have the exact same Stinger, the 2022 Ascot Green GT1. Wife and I both like the color, was at the gym Monday and one of the members complimented the color and car. Don

 

[ScottM]

Not trolling, just don't know why you guys get all worked up? It's a button here or there to turn on and off. Oh well, you do you. And DonD, I've blocked you, so we're good. Unnecessary bad vibes be gone.

I know exactly what I've said that got negative reactions. And I (mostly) learned to just talk cars: that's why I'm here, to take a breather. Hah.

I can still see both of you.

I don't think I've read anything from you that in the least disturbed me. You're one who contributes. Don
