From Texas to Turkey to ISIS

The journey of an American truck.

I own a Ford F250 Super Duty Truck

It has a voice activated radio. I say "Nelson", the radio replies, "Ricky or Willie?" I answer "Willie" the radio switches to play "On The Road Again." I say "Ray Charles!", and
in an instant " Georgia On My Mind" replaces Willie Nelson. The voice activation is great, I can simply say "The Doors" "Dick Dale" or "AeroSmith"
and the radio immediately switches to one of their songs. Yesterday, some guy ran a red light and nearly rammed me, but I swerved just in time to avoid him.
I yelled, "Ass Hole!" and immediately the radio switched to, "Ladies and gentlemen, Barack Obama, President of the United States ."
Damn!
Isn't technology awesome!

Oberholtzer said this wouldn't have happened if the dealership had just removed the decals before the truck was resold, as he had demanded, thus serving as the basis for his lawsuit (attached below).

Or he could have done that himself before he sold it to them.

Well, true, but as I understood it, the dealership actually asked him not to remove the lettering. They were worried about the removal process damaging the paint. (Or likely revealing how oxidized the exposed paint had gotten, compared to the paint under the letters. They wouldn't want to have to wax or respray the truck, you know... Gotta maximize the profit.)

Ah, OK. My bad - I missed that part.
