Spying On My Wife

Surveillance gizmos are a part of my life. What do they reveal?

My wife was fine, but her 2005 Honda Pilot was totaled. On Interstate 95 between New Haven and Boston, the SUV had been picked up by the wind from a passing 18-wheeler and hurled against the median strip. My wife told me she wasn't speeding, but I didn't really believe her. So I bought a CarChip and (with her permission) installed it in our family's other SUV, a 1996 Jeep Cherokee. Now I know if she's been speeding or not--and a whole lot more.
