What do you expect when the CEO of GM was installed by our current POS POTUS?

Meh. Don't care. Phones, computers, laptops, pads, cars, credit scores, credit cards, Facebook, Google, etc, ad nauseum... it's not new, and not shocking.

RE: POTUS... Um... yeah. Look at all those things above and tell me what happened to those, Tom. Or are some of those Bush's fault?

The day I actually removed Onstar from my 2001 Suburban and they called to tell me I couldn't do that was the day I swore never to own an Onstar vehicle again.


I mean they just didn't say I didn't know how, or it wasn't a good idea, but they said I wasn't allowed to do it. I told the ***** to try and stop me. Stupid idiots.

I can't believe they would have said you CANNOT remove OnStar. What a load of crap!

The Onstar police never showed up but this was pre-government motors. Who knows what would happen now.

I am serious though. It really did happen and it was a WTF moment for me I will never forget.
