people talk about paranoia, remember when lifelock first came out and the owner of the company used to post his own personal ssn on the side of the truck in the commercial? notice he doesn't do that anymore? that's because he has had his identity stolen 13 times....

How are they going to track your plates, exactly? (and who is they?)

People worry about all the wrong things.

I'm waiting.....

I'm with you,this is stupid,unneccesary paranoia.

Grateful Dead? Just a guess. It's what I first thought when I saw it.

Yes, Grateful Dead.

Note my derby cover. In Michigan, you only get 5 characters. Tons more/better options if we could have 6
