Onstar or not to Onstar
My Regal has Onstar and the svc costs like 18 buck a month for the basic svc......think its worth it....all I have to do is lock my keys in it once a month for it to pay for itself right??? LOL

i don't want it. Never really appealed to me either. But my opinion. I'm sure for some people it could pay for itself in the end, but for others, just like throwing money in the wind.

Probably more of a chance they unlock your car by accident when you least expect it.....or track you after one of your B & E'*.

*I pre-apologize for being off topic.*
A friend of mine has this heavily modded(suspension mainly) CRX and his is big time into auto cross/road racing. His wife had just bought a brand new Malibu Maxx and he decided to test the Malibu out on the course, rather than the Honda. He took me with him on a few fun-runs and as we were whipping around the cones, the "onstar chick" came on and said that "We're detecting that you are under heavy acceleration, braking and steering. Do you need assistance?" She repeated herself five times before my buddy shouted "Shut the F up already!!!!!" Needless to say, I hope he doesn't need and warrenty work done to it...
