"I'm driving!!!"

"I'm still driving!"

"I'm stuck in traffic.."

"I hate Sunday drivers"

I added it! We'll see how it works.

I thought OnStar was going to use voice recognition to convert my voice to a text post. Instead OnStar just records you and posts the audio on your wall. Hahaha I sound like nerd, I paused in between words thinking it would help the voice recognition software understand me.

NO THANKS!!!!!!

fail imo....

Doesn't using "Virtual Advisor" use up the car-phone's minutes? I thought I read that somewhere when I activated OnStar...

Looks like you do

Q. How much will I pay for having and using Virtual Advisor?
A. When you purchase an OnStar Hands-free Calling minutes package, Virtual Advisor uses minutes in the same way that a call would use the minutes. There is no additional cost, beyond the minutes used while listening to Virtual Advisor.

Great. So now I can be annoyed by farmville while I drive too.

greenrail · 11-12-2010, 07:56 PM

Like Betty White said when she was on SNL:

"Facebook is such a waste of time!"

Like I really care about people being bored, tired, worn out from a rough day/week... Or whatever they have to complain about.....Sheesh!

cam fan · 02-06-2011, 11:44 PM

so wait, you do use your onstar minutes for this?

GbrilliantQ · 02-06-2011, 11:52 PM

I added it, but I wont use it if it uses up my minutes.

Lynnspeed · 02-06-2011, 11:56 PM

victoryredRS · 02-07-2011, 12:48 AM
