I was going so fast the other day that the wind blew my tinfoil hat off and when I reached down for it I swerved and did a 17g spin

...Onstar called and asked if I needed new underwear

... sadly I did and they gave me directions to the nearest Walmart

Does that count?

This statement seems to lend it'self to a wide array of reasons to peak on their part.

Yes and they would have to prove it if you sued them. That line sounds like one added by a lawyer to cover their butts in the cases of law enforcement intervention. So the criminal can't sue OnStar for letting the FBI tap their OnStar, even though precident set in a recent court case basically doesn't allow them to do that anymore. As I said, still no definitive proof this ever happened. And if you read the rest of the T&C the system is built with notifications to advise you that you are being connected with OnStar.

I don't know. I left a nasty hot wing and beer fart in mine the other day and a moment later I heard someone coughing and hacking in the speakers. LOL

OnStar wouldn't dare try to spy on people (as if they had a reason to anyway), because as soon as they did someone would figure it out, blast it to the media, and OnStar would quickly cease to exist as a company.
