This was were I was going with my post. It should cost extra for something so important.

One of GM's best features was its On-Star system (maybe it's only good feature... we'll leave that for another time). I always felt that such services should be expanded to all appropriate vehicles, expanding the system, which would in turn employ more people to do the call connecting and service providing duties to the vehicles. That kills two birds with one stone, making it safer for drivers, and employing more workers. Boo-yah!

I started to post about On-Star. It is a great service! My parents have it on their Escalade (don't even get me started on that monstrosity
) and they use it all the time. It can even find them a restaurant!

Just sose ya know, bluetooth signals are ridiculously easy to intercept. So, if you don't want anyone to hear anything too personal or too sensitive make sure you use a land line.
