So I was just driving around minding my own business, blasting / singing yelling some Kelly Clarkson tunes in my truck, which has the free OnStar subscription that is about to expire.... Then it happened....
A totally accurate textual recreation of the sounds involved:
“SINCE YOU BEEN GOOOOOOOOOOOO...... *Incoming call from OnStar*”
“???”
“*Your OnStar subscription is about to expire*”
“???”
“*Please press the blue Onstar button on your mirror to be connected to a representative to renew your subscription*”
“(censored for your protection)“
It was at that point that I did my best Richard Hammond Bicycling impression to let the robotic Onstar lady know how I felt about her inappropriate advances into my vehicle’s sound system. Eventually she hung up, but I’m not quite sure what combination of obscenities triggered it. Or if it just timed out.
I feel violated.

That happened to me in my old M3 and my Sirius XM subscription. Right when something so awesome was about to happen on Howard 100 it got cut.

That was a big part of the reason I didn’t renew. I hate that GM forces it on you: I knew I didn’t want it, but it’s still in my car.
My exchange when they called to get me to renew it was funny though
Rep: You should renew. OnStar is great!
Me: I don’t really see the point
Rep: It’ll call 911 when you wreck
Me: I’d rather take my chances
Rep: You get a phone number for your car!
Me: I have a cell phone and the car has Bluetooth, why do I need that?
Rep: What if your phone is dead or doesn’t have signal?
Me: If my phone is dead I can plug it in via USB, and if I don’t have signal on my phone why would my car have signal?
Rep: Uh, I don’t know. It’ll send you directions though!
Me: My phone has GPS
Rep: You can use remote start!
Me: no, I can’t, I have a manual. You didn’t install remote start on the car. Basically you’ve told me that OnStar provides literally no function I could actually use, and you want me to pay $20+ a month for it? Pass
Rep: Have a nice day!

Sort of reminds me when I crashed a car and was too poor to afford another. “Why do you want to cancel your insurance”? “I don’t have car anymore” “what about an accident?”....”in my non existent car?” “In someone else’s car” “what? presumably they have insurance” “what if you get sued?” me “from walking into someone?” lol.
