I take that as a compliment from a guy who put a '98 front clip on a '95 T/A.

(Yikes, I just noticed your sig. The front end of LT-1 T/A was downright pretty....Needless to say, the restyling of the LS-1 T/A helped me decide on a Camaro.)

 

Hahaha , whatever floats ya man

 

Maybe if you took a giant sledge to your Armada and beat that terrible curve out of the roof, along with a new front clip, and a new rear window that has four sides, MAYBE, just MAYBE your Armada wouldn't blind me with its ugliness

 

1. Trucks and SUVs are supposed to be "ugly."

2. If I was "image concious" would I also drive a Camaro?

3. Your issues of rage are probably connected with your economic situation.

 

1. Says who? "Tough-looking" and "ugly" are not the same thing...2. Do you mean "image conscious"? (You might have a point here though...)3.

 

1 very minor accident (some guy in truck with an attached snow plow decided stop signs didn't appy to him - buckled the hood on my beater) in 16 years driving here, 7.5 of them driving in Midwest winters in both hi-po RWD and crappy FWD cars.

What it comes down to is if people want OnStar as an option let them have it, but DONT f***ing force it on me.

 

I don't have any anger managment issues. I have problems with idiots, that's all.

 

Ummm...

Minor point about OnStar...

OnStar can locate the vehicle automagically and pass along the info to the cops & paramedics & lawyers (who will probably get there before the cops do)... I'm not aware if it was done in this case, but it has been done previously in different situations. Little kids have called OnStar in emergencies and OnStar has located the vehicle.

One other thing OnStar needs...

1) Car is stolen.

2) Owner reports car is stolen.

3) OnStar locates car automagically.

4) If car is in motion, OnStar starts progressively shutting off fuel injectors. First one, then two, then three... until the car stops running while in gear and the thief pulls over... oddly enough, it idles and runs just fine in Park or Neutral... OnStar then turns a local Christian music station on full blast, turns the HVAC system up to "blast furnace", adjusts the seats all the way forward and up, turns on the wipers and starts flashing the interior lights on and off.

Maybe we could then have OnStar set off the airbags, just for giggles.

HEH.

"You don't need a mechanic, you need an exorcist."

 

I about fell out of my chair when I read that. My friend has a car that is like that too,(an old S-10 Jimmy).

 

OnStar, like most technological advances has its good and bad points.

No doubt it adds convenience and can be a real help in an emergency but I’m just not sure I want ANYBODY to have to ability to know exactly where I am at any given moment. I sometimes don’t even take my cell phone with me when I leave the house (I’m sure that will bring a collective gasp from the audience).

As has been mentioned earlier in this thread, I’m not against the option of things like OnStar so long as they stay an option…I don’t want it forced down my throat; especially at my expense.
