Re: OnStar (Guru_4_hire)
I agree with you that Big Brother isn't right, etc...
However, I hardly think that OnStar give the police to "beat you up and search your homes for contraband anytime they want."
Warranty? Yeah, I car about Warranty on my daily driver. Then again, I don't do spirited driving in an SUV nor do I take it to the track. Warranty on a C6??? I'm the one that wants GM to give me credit for the base warranty period. :D So, no, a car that I'm going to beat the living poopie out of, I don't expect warranty! I break it because I plaid hard with it, I will fix it by myself or pay to get it fixed. :p
Were you one of those kids that broke a toy and then blamed it on the kid nearest you? :)
You want to play and play hard???? DON'T EXPECT IT TO BE FREE!
Back to Onstar...
BTW, $2000 option eh??? :rolleyes:

Considering that they only monitor vehicular systems and do not transmit data, yes.

Yes, your right Scissors, because someone who wants to find out where you are exactly can't when you post all day long from some computer. :lol: :crazy:
I guess on top of being Mr. Interior, Mr. Anit-OnStar, you are also the long lost genius computer brother of Mr. Gates??? :rolleyes:
Please, Mr. Scissors, tell me another tale and enlighten me with your superior God like knowledge of all that walks this 3rd Rock! :rolleyes:

Re: OnStar (Guru_4_hire)
I could floor it on the street and the tranny could drop out the bottom of the car! What's your point? I'm going to deny that I floored it to drive the car hard?
"Umm, yeah Mr. Service manager, I don't know what happened, my foot went to the floor and then the next thing I knew the tranny fell out. Can I please get another for free?"
Of course this country is built on people who want everything for FREE to them, so I guess I see your point also.

Re: OnStar (Scissors)
I was just pointing out that they arent only for insurance accident statistic research purposes like they are toted as.
The black box is pretty irrelevant compared to some of the other things out there. Like onstar and hte GPS tracking that is in some of the newer cellphones like mine.

Re: OnStar (Scissors)
:lol: Scissors.
I'm trying to figure out whether you assume to much about my skills (or lack of) or if you are a techno weanie who is just ignornant of his own technology.
Either way, more power to you and I'm done or I'll have a 18,000+ post count soon...
Runge - Sorry about all this off topic junk. Sometimes I get amused by people superior to me (Scissors) and I get carried away. :)

Re: OnStar (Guru_4_hire)
Damage being the key word Guru!
Warranty is for to cover items are manufacturered or assembled with a defect.
Should warranty replace a windshield that a rock cracked? So why would you expect warranty to replace a tranny that blew up coming from most likely a modded engine that is producing way more power?
What I'm saying is, that I mod my cars and drive them hard. I do not expect warranty to cover anything that may be DAMAGED as a result of this. I'm not going to put all the stock parts back on and take it to the dealer and then plead ignorance to get a new engine or tranny for FREE.
If I'm driving down the street in my daily driver and the tranny falls out with only 5K on it, then you bet it did so because of a DEFECT.

Re: OnStar (H82BFST)
And the trannies in my silverado have tendency to fail. Should 1 pass at a track void that?

You assume to much to what you know and don't know... especially about people Scissors! ;)
What would it prove if I posted exactly who and where you were on a public forum? You can make any translation you like, this is a forum and means nothing to living life. Well, maybe except for the fact that I wasted the last 2 hours on this stupidity... DOH

Re: OnStar (Guru_4_hire)
You take your Silverado to the track and it's a stock truck???? :crazy:
If YOUR vehicles have a "tendency" to have failing transmissions consistantly, then I'm willing to bet that 9 out of 10 times it is the user who is the issue. ;)
Why do you keep a truck that has consistant tranny issues? Have you tried the Lemon Law?

Re: OnStar (H82BFST)
No its a common reported problem with silverados. -- Mine has yet to fail
and you spent 1 and 17 minutes arguing whether or not big brother is good or not.
I know where I am posting from, and I know where scissors is posting from, and I seriously doubt you can tell me where I am.

But, please, if a computer is as big a risk as OnStar, then list where I was posting from earlier, post a video of me in that place, and post an audio file of what I was saying to others. I bet you can't.
