Another Yahoo pick this morning.

Sounds like a good deal to me, especially since I do drive less tan 15K miles a year. I don't care if GM/GMAC knows how much, when, or where I drive. This is a good deal for people like me, that are able to opt in to this program.

Now we just need a trip computer that knows the price of gas, the price of insurance and maintenance costs and has a "Dollars Spent," readout in big orange LEDs.

sounds pretty cool but lets see it in practice. alot of times they run stuff like this, but the insurance while not advertised as being different actually has some lowered payout costs. so your fine if you smack another elantra, but hit a Mercedes and find yourself SOL

i wish you could install onstar on other vehicles

i went from progressive auto (206/mo) and allstate renters (23/mo) to statefarm for both and went down to 103/mo then when it renews next month its 96$. i saved like 60% lol

Hopefully their insurance is more dependable than their vehicles.

Two problems with that for me...

I put 20-30k miles on my car a year, and I LOVE driving...there's no way I could ever do that...

thats like my exact scenario. i have state farm, and its the cheapest of just about every single person i know for people in their 20s in the pittsburgh area. But thats WITH a 2nd type of insurance out with them, you have renters, i have home owners, the discounts are about the same. I think i pay 97 a month for mine. and i turn 25 in 2 months, they sent me a letter saying it should go down again then

So they use OnStar to monitor your every driving move.
Next thing you know they'll increase your insurance because OnStar will monitor your speed and note every time you're 1 mph over the limit.

how will they know if you're doing 65 on the freeway or 65 in a neighborhood?

rob - yes, its sweet. i enjoy having an extra 130$/mo to dispose of. it helps when its time to fill up the gas tanks. lol. watch, gas will go down, and my insurance will go up out of nowhere

oh well. back to the beach for me!
