They won't do it based on an odometer someone could tamper with. One, they know when @ where you've been, and they can shut down the GPS system and halt a whole bunch of traffic on a whim except for the "possible problem makers". Makes me wonder the cash for clunkers (among other things) was really about.<br /><br />Also, all that highway money goes mostly to unions. After it is all said and done, a thousand dollars problably only builds less than 1" of road.<br />I could bitch all night, but have better things to do.<br />Scott<br />ScottScottnoreply@blogger.com
