Does anyone have a copy of the antenna mounting template the dealers used to drill the hole in the rear quarter for the 68's?

According to a close friend....the awards were at a Good Guys show. No SAAC or MCA.

Caveat Emptor.....

A little misleading, but thats not unexpected.


Good Guy's, SAAC, MCA, Miami Car and Airplane Show... its all the same.  ::)

Computer records back in the day????  That's funny. Not sure they used computers at DMV in the 60's and they sure didn't waste any effort putting 60's paper files on computer.

I agree...

We should randomly post local events, pictures found on the internet, answer our own posts and other nonsensical items to get our post totals up.

:D+2
+1 with sarcasm   :D

You can say it as many times as you want it doesn't sink in... :o

Try saying it in Spanish...

On the positive side no more DUIs...On the negative 1 well placed computer hack or signal interference and we all die......

Systems are hackable because administrators are either lazy or lack the knowledge to secure their network. Can't hack a closed system.  ;). Besides your missing the point of autonomous cars. Their programming is in ROM (read ONLY memory) can't be written to by hacking.

Additionally weak user passwords are to blame for many security breaches.  Here are 25 common passwords. Recognize any?  ;)

Everything breaks down including driverless cars.  The general rule of entropy governs all both great and small.  My question then becomes, when said driverless car breaks down and causes a chain reaction of death and mayhem, who will be liable?  The owner of the car for failure to maintain?  The car manufacture for products liability i.e. design defect, manufacturing defect?  All of the above?  Interesting times await.

When driverless car "breaks down" all other cars are notified and slow down simultaneously, merge into lanes not blocked by "breakdown" and continue on there way.  No rubber necking means no secondary issues.

Ding ding ding!  Excellent point.  Downside is a catastrophic failure.  But I'm with yah.  There will be far fewer accidents.

Not sure what your definition of catastrophic failure is. Cars communicate with other vehicles within a certain range wirelessly. Primary communication would be with master system. Redundant communication means likelihood of catastrophic failure due to loss of situational awareness of other vehicles highly unlikely. Most likely a full communication loss would result in a parking lot.
