Fuck You OnStar

This is the kind of thing that makes me upset with where our minds lead us. (;_;)

The article talks about how the company, OnStar, is teaming up with Chevy to install a new security device that will slow down cars that are being stolen. This is supposed to help police catch the stolen car as it's driving away so that the thief doesn't get to do any "Dukes of Hazard" type car maneuvers.

It's only a matter of time before you're hauling ass down the freeway, with your wife in labor sitting in the back seat as your car pulls over to the side of the road so that a police officer can write you a ticket when he gets around to it.

This is one of many reasons why I will always drive a car with a carburetor.

(And why I'll continue to write run-on sentences until I am satisfied.)
