You can trick your whip all you want, but GM says that car is still theirs, no matter what you’ve paid. In a hearing this week, General Motors attorney Harry Lightsey said that purchasing and paying off your GM vehicle is a license agreement and not ownership.
The U.S Copyright Office is holding a hearing on whether anyone other than the vehicle’s manufacturer has the right to alter the that car’s copyrighted software. With modern design being what it is, this means almost altering anything about the vehicle.
Mechanics and private owners are saying they need to be allowed to make repairs on their vehicles to keep them running or maintain their business. But GM is saying that anyone unauthorized altering anything about the vehicle could create problems with the software and endanger the driver. This sounds more like a business ploy on the part of GM to hold a monopoly on vehicle repairs.

That can be changed when people take back their local politics. There are a few towns in Vermont with no property tax. Instead there is a sliding scale schools and roads tax.
We need to start making changes like that in every town.
Also re the owning your body thing – another reason to be aware and involved locally. There was an act which fortunately did not pass that the progressive Democrats in Vermont tried to put through which would have given ownership of every corpse in Vermont to the state to do with as they please unless you’d signed a form before dying that exempted you. No joke.
The government owns it just like they’re gonna own everything else you have

Then they should be open for law siuts for their car problems.
That’s why I drive a Ford
The title I have says the car is mine. Just lease them, if you want to maintain ownership and control. See how many people use them then.
Never bought one of your Obama Cars.
