Try googling me.

The answers to your other questions are similar.

It isn't about being invisible. Its about having context-specific identities.


I'm pretty careful about my privacy, but there are much more pressing concerns than having the quickie lube shop be able to pull up my service history.
Its not about them being able to pull up my service history. Its about them inadvertently handing over the fact that I do business (and when I did business with them and how much money I spent with them) to 3rd parties looking to exploit that info in any way they can because there are no legal protections to stop them.

If they use a salvage VIN, then those 3rd party Big Data companies can't connect those facts to my actual identity.
