Is your car Y2K Ready?

[kv at us.ibm.com]

I called these guys outta curiousity... he was pretty decent with me.  Said
that 98% of the cars are OK but some luxury cars (GM)  (like Caddy)  report
the date to test equipment during diagnostics...   apparently this is kept
in the "Body Control Module"-  and will need some sort of upgrade when Y2K
rolls around...

I told him I couldn't even keep the clock right on my radio---  he
chuckled!

I am an eternal skeptic (but also somewhat ignorant) when it comes to these
things but he did seem *somewhat* believable...   I guess if I had a late
model Caddy I would look into it at least--- since I don't-  and never
will... (can't climb over rocks with one of them)-  I'll move on.

Anyway-  FYI.
