Ford Jamming up Teens

Well, I guess it's more of Ford enabling parents to Jam Up their teenage drivers.

According to this report Ford is making it possible for parents to program a computer chip, to put caps on how fast their teen can drive and how loud they can play the stereo.

That's what every 16-year-old dreams about. "Here's your new Mustang, Johnny. Have fun going 55, and don't bother getting a speaker upgrade - it won't matter."

I'm calling it a Code 2 for now, because parents haven't done it yet. Ford, though, is not winning anyone over with this one. Why don't they just install a breathalyzer too.
