So 80 pops ..... 40 pops ..... 10 pops ..... no pops.
Pop is bad for you, drink water and beer instead.

Try proof reading before posting jibberish

In some parts of the country they call "pop"...."soda".

Sometimes Coke-a-Cola is just called a generic "soda", or, "pop".

This is not to be confused with "Club Soda" though which is carbonated water. Goes really good with Scotch Whiskey.

Maybe the OP had too much Scotch and "pop".

Have no clue how he went from 80 pops to 0 pops and back to 80 pops.

I think he is saying he abuses his car and can the dealer see that by downloading
information from car computer?

So true. In MN its referred to as pop. The wife and I were on vacation in Florida and when we asked the hotel desk clerk where the pop machine was she looked at us like we were from Mars.

Problem is o/p was using racer speak on a non tech part of the C6 forum. If others had gone to his profile and read some of his other questions it would have been apparent. As was suggested, should have been in the tuning thread.

That's why I don't drive down to Reno very often. I can't understand a word they say. It's worst than Creole.

Something along the lines of l/past 5 minutes of operation.
IIRC turning the car 'off' does reset the process.

Chevrolet (& insurance companies?) can tell what the car was doing prior to an 'incident' resulting in unexpected termination. Supposedly to aid troubleshooting; however, it could (& does?) be used in accident investigation, also. An issue for those concerned with infringement of their privacy by "Big Brother" etc.

Must be a slow week for CF.

Actually it's a part of the air bag system. Before your car decides to explode a bunch of airbags in your face it needs a frame of reference as to what the car has been doing for the last few seconds. Speed, braking, turning, acceleration etc are used to calculate the what devices to explode (or not). The box will save usually the last 30 seconds as a retroactive snapshot after an airbag event. Yes, this can be recovered.
