Onstar/Track problem....
Ok, so i am thinking about taking the C7 to the track. Is there anyway to turn Onstar off? I mean if I wreck on the track, I would like to call a rollback, to pick up my car off the track, and throw here in a ditch. Insurance isnt going to pay if I wreck her on the track. But if an airbag deploys I am screwed. Any suggestions?

If you crash, you could sell it to someone who will strip it and then you claim it was stolen. Just make sure it will never be found. Then you get paid twice! If you're gonna commit insurance fraud, might as well go big.

Can't beat a good ditch for simulating hitting a track guard rail.
Wouldn't you have a lot of witnesses, including the tow truck driver?
Get track insurance. It is better than going to jail, and cheaper than the lawyer you would have to hire.

I want to rob a bank. Is there any way to turn off the alarm system, so in case I get hurt, I can just call an ambulance instead of the police responding? My health insurance may not pay for my injuries if the alarm goes off . . . . .

^ this.... Get insurance specifically for a track day event. Lockton insurance is who I use.

My Uncle Buddy used to run a import / export business and a bakery in McAllen TX and he would travel to Reyanose regularly. He got a kick out of the Mexican vendors in the straw market who would sell the same parrot three times a day to US Touristas dumb enough to think they could smuggle the damn thing into the US. Two minutes after the vendor sold the bird, (and a special case to transport it as a "floral display"), he'd call his buddy in the US Border Patrol and the bird would get a free trip back home.
Beware of wrecker drivers who offer to throw your wrecked Vette into a ditch for you - they aren't dumb enough to risk their license to do such a thing unless they are working for an insurance company already. Come to think of it, tracking your Vette without track insurance and then trying to get your regular insurance company to pay for your track incident is like buying a parrot in Mexico and thinking that nobody will figure it out - just plain dumb.

This thread just made me think of Anthony Wiener claiming his txt account had been hacked 
You have to live today by the code of 'If you do it, there's a record of it'. Plus you're going to track it and think no one's got a cell phone connected to you tube ???

"Vehicle was found in a ditch with collision damage consistent with loss of control, rolling over, and hitting a wall at a racetrack. However, no tire tracks or skid marks led to the vehicle's final resting place and the surrounding area was woods and fields, not a racetrack. None of the trees had damage corresponding to that on the vehicle. Vehicle appeared to have been dropped by the rollback whose tire tracks WERE found. Recommend referral for insurance fraud investigation."
Right up there with "if you shoot a burglar in the yard, drag him inside and put a spare gun in his hand."
