OnStar Retreats

WassupJose — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 06:20:12 +0000

OnStar retreats. OnStar has announced that it will not collect data from customers who do not have an OnStar plan. What a concept. Read the below comment from OnStar President Linda Marshall. Bullshit! #Fail

"We realize that our proposed amendments did not satisfy our subscribers," OnStar President Linda Marshall said. "This is why we are leaving the decision in our customers' hands. We listened, we responded and we hope to maintain the trust of our more than 6 million customers."

If you own a General Motors vehicle with OnStar, this post is for you. OnStar is updating its Privacy Statement to allow selling of your private data. Also, OnStar will continue to collect data even if you do not have an OnStar plan. WTF!

Read the Privacy Statement and then call OnStar to deactivate the data collection. You do have a choice, so exercise it. I do not own a GM product, else I would call OnStar and tell them to pound sand! #Fail

Unless the Data Connection to your Vehicle is deactivated, data about your Vehicle will continue to be collected even if you do not have a Plan. It is important that you convey this to other drivers, occupants, or subsequent owners of your Vehicle. You may deactivate the Data Connection to your Vehicle at any time by contacting an OnStar Advisor.

Dash Driving

Here is another entry for Urban Dictionary. Note the date of this post, because some fool may submit my shit. What the hell is "Dash Driving"? When idiots drive with one foot on the dashboard. Yes, you read that right. Foot on dash, knee to chest.

Today, I saw another chick driving with her left foot on the dashboard. What the hell? Was she knocking one out before dinner? Maybe she was trying out a new double dong or just airing out the pink canoe. Whatever. Why do people dash drive?
