Default Onstar calls CTS-V driver......

On its way to doing the 1/4-mile in 11.07 seconds at 128 mph, a Hennessy-tuned 700-horsepower Cadillac CTS-V hit .99 longitudinal G as it left the start line. By the end of the run the phone inside the car was ringing, and it was your friendly neighborhood OnStar representative wondering "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Ok, not quite... but they did have some questions. I found this hilarious

On Star is fun to play with. Most of the reps have a pretty good sense of humor. I have had 45 min conversations with them after calling for directions.
But have never had any emergency dealings. Thank god.
