Yes, it absolutely could have a tracking device in it. This could also be part of an alarm system or ignition interlock…but if you’ve been driving it without hitting the button, that doesn’t make sense. I would have a mechanic run the wires to see where they lead and remove it. It’s not factory

Both are solid podcasts and I’ve never heard an ounce of leaning politically from either.

Haven’t watched the video nor am I a professional in this area. I also feel that heavy vehicles should be more responsible for road maintenance but I’m not sure how to actively tax them appropriately for the area in which their vehicles impact. For instance, tractor trailers. If there is a more favorable state that taxes these businesses less, more trucking companies will “relocate” there while the states they may impact more frequently see none of the tax revenue. I think this is why a lot of states depend on fuel tax. This brings in EV’s (which are extremely heavy as well) that use our roads but aren’t taxed appropriately for the usage and maintenance of the infrastructure. How do we tax these vehicles appropriately for the like/same mileage if there ICE vehicle counterparts. It seems unfair to tax one car that drives 10k/year as you would another that drives 50k/year.
