They want to track it via a GPS. Disconnecting the odometer cable won’t help you. I find myself far more prone to cuss these days. I’m resisting the urge to cuss now, cast aspersions on their ancestry, and otherwise suggest how these b@st@rds <===oops, slipped through, should be dealt with.

It won’t happen with GPS. Too unwieldy.

See my #37 above.

The requirements for auto retroconvert, system infrastructure, tracking systems, personnel, staffing, taxing agency, etc. are staggering.

There really aren’t enough technical people around to build this kind of a system for the feds, and it would take a decade, minimum, if ever.

Not to mention that it would suck BILLIONS from the economy.

It’ll be odometers, and even that will be a huge logistics problem (aka “expensive resource sucking government farrago”) and cause a great deal of political downside for the Rats.

Well, I guess I won't have to pay a mileage tax then - I don't have a GPS.

Seriously, for those of us without GPS - will we be ordered to buy one for our vehicles? And if so, why can't we get a coupon to get one for free like the digital coupon for TV?

And if we don't have to get a GPS, how will they track our mileage. Will we have to go to a new government beauracracy station every Jan. 1st to have the Official Mileage Checker person post our mileage on Official Mileage Checker Form No. xxxxxxx?

"They want to track it via a GPS."

They will NOT connect or mount any device to either of my two '68 numbers-matching cars. They can not keep me from disconnecting them in my newer vehicles. I already disconnected one in my '07 that GM/Onstar put in it.
