Dan, unlikely either of those things happen this weekend. If I do get to ride, it'll just be to run small errands, Mountains and Foothilss got snowed on again last night. Still a little dangerous up there.

Thieves should be killed on the spot.

How does a new truck with all the security get jacked? Does it have OnStar?

I hope so. He wouldn’t want something that has been tagged out.

With all the electronic wizardry I'm sure they have gadgets to spoof all that stuff and make it work.

I saw a story on this a couple of weeks ago. Chev/GMC are particularly susceptible. One guy goes under the truck and operates the hood latch. Guy 2 opens the hood and plugs a module into the ECU. 30 seconds. Drive it off, the passenger is working to disable On-Star.

I heard her talk about that on some tv show, said that suit added some here and there and squeezed and shaped everything, that wasn't really her. Said it wasn't comfortable, either. She was about the only thing I liked on that series.

Prolly on its way to Iraq or Syria to have an anti aircraft gun mounted in the bed.

Quite a racket when the wrench & pipe & hook hit the psp it was parked on (perforated steel plate) and the Huey slammed back down. Wasn't my idea, honest, watched the sergeant in charge do it. To the best of my knowledge, we never lost a bird to maintenance. Pilots got rid of a few for us though.
