[General] vehicle black boxes

[Nolan Cash]

I have been around cars for a long time and the only thing I could imagine
it would be used for is to come up with some sort of memory of how you
drive to help out with how your vehicle will preform.  Disconnecting it
without the computer being bypassed could cause really bad issues for your
car. I would research it and go from there. However my opinion is to leave
it alone.
