Not only capable of tracking but also many other features too, tell me what you think...Yes it's pricey ($599), but I can get a group buy together if a few/several people are interested and talk to your insurance company, I'm sure you are elgible for a pretty good discount with it.

Are you a rep for this company or something?

It definitely sounds cool, but sort of big brother-ish as well!

yea, i'd feel kinda strange knowing someone has a way to know everything i'm doing in a car at all times.

Does it monitor your speed to? Man i'd have to ditch my car for some american muscle 2 fast 2 furious stylee!!!!@!@FHJESDJKLFA

I would like the vehicle tracking if somone stole my baby, but with 600 bucks I really need to buy:

a) exhaust system so my car doesn't sound like a pussy anymore
b) work emotion CR kai's in gunmetal
c) a hachi
d) matching bride passenger seat

yea, get the exhaust, that'll be awesome

.

i also need tons of stuff before i spend money on something like that:
1. get my new motor in (that'll be mostly fee though)
2. blitz SBC-id boost controller and blitz turbo timer
3. 5zigen FNO1R-C wheels (which i just found used w/tires for $800 and i might get)
4. kouki front end w/ c-west DRFT kit
5. tein flex or cusco zero2-R coilovers

oh man those cusco coilovers are PIMP but so expensive. Tein does make a drift specific coilover for your car. Those are just yum!

yea, i haven't decided on anything for sure yet, but for some reason i just really want those cuscos

. they list for $2300 though and even with a discount, they'll probably be a bit out of my range.
the teins are still badass though, and there is a good chance i'll go with those instead and save $1000 or so.

lol, wow, you're good...you need a job?! I AM working for the NSA, if you view the contact information you can see our Northeast Georgia headquarters address....the building is cleverly disguised as a house! On weekends I work for the EPA in trying to reduce the amount of smoke boiling from tires, it's killing dolphins and sea turtles worldwide...not to mention the excess gas being used with people out joyriding in mountains for absolutely no reason but to satisfy their urges. It's a conspiracy against us, the US Government, as a rebuttal for raising the prices of fuels.

Ok, now that I'm knee deep in the warm smelly stuff, I'll attempt to shovel myself out... Yes, we are a distributor for Direct-Track. A better angle to selling these would probably be to parents with young drivers (Q: what's more dangerous than speeding in a car? A: Your parents knowing exactly how fast when you got home or exactly where you said you weren't) We would all still be in our rooms if this technology was available to them back then (or anywhere near this price)

I try to leave some of the information out of what it's capable of when marketing to younger drivers....like the geo-fence (create a circle/box on the map) that alerts you when the set boundary has been breached. You can set a top speed notification so if the vehicle exceeds a certain defined mph then it will alert you. You can also set a time limit on it so if you were to [say] exceed 85mph for more than 3 minutes then it would alert you vs everytiime it hit 85. You can wire up the starter enable/disable or lock/unlock that is excessible from the internet as well.

woah that is too, too scary!

it's nice to hear your work for the epa though. Very refreshing.
