If I lock my keys in something incall the glass shop and ask them which is the cheapest window on the vehicle. Then I know which one to break.

It's pretty cool really, if the truck has an issue and pops a code, it will email me and tell me what's wrong with it.
Right, that's why I love it and hate it. It's a privacy issue for me. ;)

Thus my love/hate relationship with technology.
I'm old enough to remember the Church Commitee. Headed up by senator Church to investigate government intelligence (spy) agencies. Here's what he warned of in his conclusions, keep in mind that this was 1976, and how much more advanced that technology is today, as compared to then:

In the need to develop a capacity to know what potential enemies are doing, the United States government has perfected a technological capability that enables us to monitor the messages that go through the air. (...) Now, that is necessary and important to the United States as we look abroad at enemies or potential enemies. We must know, at the same time, that capability at any time could be turned around on the American people, and no American would have any privacy left such is the capability to monitor everything—telephone conversations, telegrams, it doesn't matter. There would be no place to hide.

If this government ever became a tyranny, if a dictator ever took charge in this country, the technological capacity that the intelligence community has given the government could enable it to impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back because the most careful effort to combine together in resistance to the government, no matter how privately it was done, is within the reach of the government to know. Such is the capability of this technology. (...)

I don't want to see this country ever go across the bridge. I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision so that we never cross over that abyss. That is the abyss from which there is no return.[9][10]
