Looking for Onstar story for article I'm writing

[joshshea]

Greetings,

My name is Joshua Shea and I am a writer working on a piece regarding OnStar for the online site Bankrate.com. I'm looking for some first-person stories of people who have the OnStar system that aren't the packaged ones the company would send me.

You don't need to have had your dying grandmother locked in the car, or been carjacked by terrorists. I just want to know if people who have Onstar have had to use it, what they've used it for, and if they think it is worth the money.

I'm not looking specifically for positive, or negative stories. I just want to hear from people regarding the system.

My deadline is the beginning of next week, so I'd certainly appreciate any comments as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Joshua Shea

I dunno man. We have an 03 tahoe with it. It's great to be able to call if your keys have been locked out, and be able to locate your car if it's stolen, but it's sort of scary. Isn't there a little bit of an invasion of privacy thing going on here? It's totally possible for someone to see where my car is whenever at onstar, and if a person's a good enough computer expert... And what if there was a total f**k up at the OnStar hq that wanted to f around with someone else, ya know? It's just a little too scary that someone else has that much control over our 45 thousand dollar SUV.
