How much money is YOUR life worth? The rich liberals that would be against this will NEVER find themselves in that situation because they have drivers/lifestyles that naturally lend themselves to never being in such a predicament. Think about it.

also @ the new york comment - you obviously haven't been around nyc much, have you? don't make your car a target, and it won't get stolen. and for crying out loud put in a decent security system if you're gonna put in a $500+ in-dash GPS unit D:

they should add a lightning strike warning to the car too cause that seems as likely.

That would probably be my alert signal from Honda's GPS.
