Anyone seen the commercials for this? How does it work? Am I the only one that wants to call up and have them send me one and then take the truck to the track for a weekend and send it back to them.

Something tells me that would be a fun conversation when they call back.

it seems like an accelerometer type device that measures your braking, acceleration, how many miles etc. it would be funny though if it measured g-forces and you took it to a road course for a couple of hours hahaha

Exactly what I was thinking. Drag strip would be fun but for best results I would put it in my friends Autocross car and let him have at it. I don't think I could keep from laughing when they call to say they wont accept me though.

I believe it connects through wifi to send your driving history to them. I would do it but the way I drive, I would deffently get dropped lol.
