Comment on InspectMyRide Partners With Experian by Steven Paul

although vehicle history reports have a good purpose. An independent inspection company should not be relying on a source like AutoCheck or CarFax for information on a vehicle. A real inspection company that provides a deep and full inspection of a used car can find items such as previous repair, odometer fraud, flood, fire and total loss damage. To me it seems like another way for these national vehicle inspection companies to squeeze out another $20 from a used car buyer and not provide real inspection results other than tire depth and scratches.... that takes care of their customers with knowledge & hands on information.

[...] So how do we tackle this issue? Do we lock down kids out from their cell phones to prohibit them from doing it? Erik Wood, creator of OTTER app, points out in an interview below that by listening to our youth respond with things such as,”I can get around that” or “I can hack that”, it is clear that the lock-down approach is likely to fail. Erik Wood believes that texting while driving is more of a lifestyle issue than anything, so with this hypothesis he set out to create OTTER app to help curb the dangerous distraction of texting while driving.

NICE ARTICLE AC & NICE SHIRT!
I’m actually not surprised at all the GM did this study as they have been struggling to get their Hybrid line and more fuel efficient vehicles on the market in the past two years.

Ford on the other hand has been seeing the light for years and now has the “Ecoboost” technology that has turned many full size trucks and SUV’s into gas sippers..
