The life of a Repo Man isn’t so intense anymore.

Gee. I was hoping for a flying car. Still waiting since 1954.

Perhaps Ford should get back to their roots. What happened to the idea of mass producing automobiles that an average American can afford? I don’t even mind if all their cars need to be black to do so.

I had driven Fords my entire life up until inventory shortages and pushing EV’s instead of catching up. The switch to Toyota is looking better every day.

For a free car, roll down the windows.

“The system could begin by disabling features such as GPS navigation, the music system or the air conditioning, in order to create what the patent describes as a “certain level of discomfort” for the owner.”

How long until law enforcement uses such an idea to bring in a someone for questioning or arrest?
Wait until they get in their car, lock the doors, and then drive to the nearest police department.

The new Nissan electric crossover can be configured to be inoperable via their app apparently. Afraid your kids will sneak out? Configure the car to not start after your bedtime. Who needed this feature, Nissan, and how will you exploit it against the customer. Just like subscription services for built-in features like climate controls, the power level of the motor or your turn radius.

We won’t own much of anything in the future. We’ll subscribe to it. Software as service (looking at you Microsoft) was the blueprint. Eliminating physical copies of audio and video entertainment or Amazon having the ability to removed paid for items from Kindle make us less free in exchange for convenience. How long before the classic books you own electronically are updated to the modern woke revisions?

Can’t escape forced ads either. I noticed Walmart now has third party ads on their self checkout screens.

Still waiting on one jihadist to use the autonomous IED to end the autonomous fad. Won’t take long.

Who would but such a vehicle? Give me my old, dumb ‘72 Olds 442 back. I’ll keep it running forever. The most high tech thing on it was the AM/FM radio.

They better make room for a lot of returns. Heard the EVF150 lot is full already.

Neat thing that I've never seen before or even though about.

Portable wheel strap to help load items on top of vehicle.

the patents suggests enabling the car to create an “incessant and unpleasant sound”

They're going to equip the car with a wife?

Mel Farr, a former football player owned Mel Farr Motors in Detroit and several other states. At one point, his was the largest black owned business in the United States. He served the sub-prime used car market.

He got in a lot of trouble for predatory lending with up to 25% interest rates plus he installed remote kill switches in cars. When a buyer defaulted, they would flip the switch and the car would stop. Driveway, parking lot, roadway, freeway, wherever.

Mel Farr, Superstar. That was his TV ad persona with a red cape and everything.

Average new car price is currently $49,200. Probably a wise move by Ford.
