Panty Concerns

Thread rating:  |
Diode - 02 Jun 2004 03:58 GMT I've decided that since I'm going to put a bra on my car, I'm going to protect the rear of my car with a panty. With the nice slim lines of an early C3, I can use a thong style on my car. C4s are still relatively slim, so they can wear a bikini style panty. With that big ole butt on the C5s, they need "full" size. And C2s? They would have to wear those little old lady drawers...you know, like pantaloons with those goofy long legs. I think it's a great marketing idea.

Tedd Riggs - 02 Jun 2004 04:49 GMT "big ole butt on the C5s" ??
Hey watch it Diode, C5's have nice butts. If you in to today's teens with the 24 inch waist, they maybe. C5 is more like Angelina Jolie, Victoria Secrets models or a J.Lo butt, nice, round and firm <g>
Do you know that in Santa Paula, "built up butt" plastic surgery is more common then any other "enhancements"( real story)
Now C6's....they have a real live "bubble-butt"
Thong panties on a C3 ? nay might look sleazy and like a fart can honda or mustang. I'd try "Luv's Diapers" or "Depends for Men" as she is a 36 year old lady and thongs might be uncomfy.

I would hate the thought she might start wearing them ! I think who-ever invented the Tie for men and the Bra for woman should have been jailed for that idea. Actually that goes for the same person that decided C5 should shift from 1st-->4th gear.

My '93 had that "feature" too. Easy enough to defeat with a $15 part from Eckler's. The dash light still comes on though, if that would bug you. I don't notice it. Nor, on my car, does it log a code. It might on your C5.

Tedd Riggs - 04 Jun 2004 02:07 GMT AJM Whoa I was backward on that one. Before I bought my C5, I was thinking that damn shift thing was only on C4's so when I got the C5, it was a surprise to me and did not see the light for a while as it always came on at the worst times which was leaving a back road and taking a very sharp left on to a fast moving road and the thing always came on right in the middle of the turn (Two lanes turning at the same time so you had to watch out for the other person) and then hardly having any power in 4th to get moving fast. So after a little Internet research, found one article on one of the vette forums on how to defeat it. Was a weird way with a extra relay added to the trans. and a large wattage resistor to "fool" the system into thinking the shift defeat was engaged, looked like a good several hour job that I almost did. However the Ecklers catalog came and could not believe it was so simple and cheap to do! Best upgrade I have made. If you just unplug the relay on the trans, it will throw a code, but not with the plug. Yes the light still comes on and sometimes I get a evil grin on my face when it's telling me how to drive and I say "forget it"

The legal system here in Canada has used this recorder for the first time as proof in a high speed accident where someone innocent lost their life.Just imagine getting pulled over by a cop and he pulls out a hand held reader and starts writing out your tickets. Just a nightmare I had, Don

Bob I - 26 Jun 2004 23:41 GMT If "they" wanted 5 minutes or five hours, it wouldn't require much memory at all. Thats exactly the point, all they are interested in is the crash or "near crash" parameters so they only are storing off the 5 seconds to impact. I just love these black helicopter guys, always figure that it's designed for someone to "spy on them", but typically so uninformed that they wouldn't know if some one was reading their harddrive! :-)

Sorry I didn't pick up on the start of this thread and I haven't Googled this. Has NHTSA written some regulation that gives the auto builder or the courts some rights to the data?
Not a lawyer I, but my initial thought is that if it's an owned vehicle, the owner possesses the rights to the data (unless GM only 'licensed' the use of the memory component.) If the vehicle is leased then all bets are off.
As far as the cops are concerned, I'd be tempted to think that it's either a "taking" or an illegal seizure; however, one might have cops, insurance company, GM and others ganged up to take pot shots and the cost of appeals would be horrendous.
Just for chuckles, I'll toss this one at a couple of golf buddies who are of the legal persuasion-- either I'll get a quick answer or it will ruin all conversation on the back nine. [:-(

I hadn't realized this was a government initiative to gather highway safety related crash data. That raises a bunch of questions as to the rights to the data.
I also didn't realize that the data capture included configuration info like 'seat belt fastened' etc.
Thanks again, "Mike" -- mikeellison3xxxatzzzyahoo.com --
Bob I - 30 Jun 2004 02:57 GMT You're welcome, I would rather read informed discussions about the topic than some of the imaginative claims that usually result when someone mentions "black box". :-)
