Thankfully, my '99 9-5 doesn't have On-Star equipment weighting it down. And no antenna on the roof! A cellphone is my choice... at least I can call SAAB roadside assistance.
We now have an overload of information in these cars. As my uncle who has a cadillac said "My old cadillac ran and ran. It told me nothing. This new one just tries to scare me everyday."
Here's a true On-Star story: a neighbor down the road had a few drinks and drove his car into a ditch after avoiding a deer (we live in the country). He wisely decided to leave the car there and walk home, then pull the car out in the morning after he had sobered up. But On-Star called the police, who went out to investigate. They found the car. The On-Star told them where the owner lived. They went up to his house, and arrested him for drunk driving! So much for freedom!
