E15 ethanol fuel corrodes engines in pre-2001 cars, while new vehicles track your location and sell the data to insurers. GM and Ford have patented systems that could lock you out based on your fingerprint or how you walk.
Chapters
Our government just quietly put a kill switch in every new car, and if you're thinking you'll just keep driving your old one, they've already thought of that too. They're slowly pushing more ethanol into the gas supply, a blend called E15. More and more stations are selling it, and it's not safe for cars built before 2001. So say you're driving a classic, a 1965 Mustang, an old Cadillac— that ethanol eats the rubber hoses and gaskets because those engines were never built for it. So the fuel itself slowly rots your car from from the inside until you're pushed into a new one. And the new one comes with cameras, monitoring systems that quietly track where you go and sell your data to third parties. That last part isn't a theory. One carmaker actually got caught selling data to insurance companies. Then it goes even further. GM filed a patent where the car watches how you walk up to it and locks you out if you decide you don't look right. Ford filed one to scan your fingerprints and check you against warrant databases. And both parties voted for the mandate. All they want is more control. Now make sure to follow because I share stuff like this every single day.
