Yeah onStar used to advertise that. Not sure if they still do that remote control stuff anymore.

My buddy’s pickup has remote start. I always tease him that one day soon, some high school kid would hack it. 60k for the damn truck is crazy.

I agree. When they hit $50,000 I couldn’t believe it.

Remember all those “hot-rod” pickup trucks in the early 2000’s?

You hardly ever see them anymore. They were pretty high-priced as I recall. I did run across one for sale on Craigslist.

Of course, even the SUV’s that were plentiful back then have disappeared. I think a lot of stuff got destroyed by Cash For Clunkers. And that’s a shame.

Oh, knew a guy who had OnStar in his Tahoe.

He locked his keys in the car. OnStar couldn’t get a signal to the truck so it had to be opened the old-fashioned way. Somebody had to come out with a device to slip in there.
