[–] maxprime@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (2 children) I wonder what your insurance company would say about that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] BombOmOm@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago* People modify their cars all the time and my insurance company has no business tracking everything I do either. permalink fedilink source parent [–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago Fuck that insurance company. When mine shipped a couple of OBD-II connection boxes for us to install for our auto insurance, I sent them back. They told me I wouldn't get their special discount if I didn't install the trackers in our 2 vehicles. I said I'm not installing your tracker boxes regardless. I continue to have car insurance, and those alleged discounts didn't really amount to much. permalink fedilink source parent
