I will never be a Nascar driver.

The next best thing is a video game; same intense fuel injected adrenalin without the hazard of death.
I prefer the cockpit view over the rear floating camera. Oh well.

General Motors sells detailed driver logs without your consent



PRIVACY ALERT: General Motors Allegedly Sharing Driving Data with Data Brokers and Insurance Companies without Drivers' Consent

March 14, 2024

New York Times Investigation Exposes GM and OnStar's Lax Privacy Practices

SAN FRANCISCO, March 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Schubert Jonckheer & Kolbe LLP is investigating automaker General Motors and its OnStar subsidiary for allegedly providing drivers' sensitive driving data to data brokers and insurance companies without their consent.

According to a recent New York Times investigation, GM is tracking drivers' mileage, speed, braking, and acceleration. OnStar Smart Driver data includes the dates and start and end times of trips, the distances driven, and a history of any speeding, hard braking, or sharp accelerations.

GM and OnStar then reportedly sell drivers' data to LexisNexis Risk Solutions, a New York-based global data broker that tracks consumers' driving records. LexisNexis, in turn, analyzes this data and creates a "risk score," which it allegedly provides to insurers.

As a result, drivers may see substantial increases to their auto insurance premiums. In some instances, leading insurers have denied drivers auto insurance altogether.

Most concerning, according to the New York Times, GM and OnStar may have failed to adequately disclose that they track drivers and sell their driving data to third parties. OnStar's privacy policy does not discuss the Smart Driver feature or that the automaker may sell drivers' data to LexisNexis or provide it to auto insurers to determine rates.

We are actively investigating whether GM, OnStar, and LexisNexis may have violated state and federal laws by selling this highly sensitive data without adequate disclosure or consent. If their practices are found unlawful, you may be entitled to money damages and an injunction requiring changes to the companies' privacy practices.

The only car GM makes that I actually like is the Chevy SS which ended production in 2017 and will be a collector car.

I would love the Aussie built rebadged Chevy version of the E39 M5.

[weebles2]

Not a Muscle car but I always thought Infiniti G37 coupe would be fun to rip up the sea to sky.

But with any Nissan/Infiniti product always get the manual.

$15k for a good used one for a fun daily driver is not bad

[weebles2]

I also think the base C6 Corvette prices have bottomed out and also are a great bang for the buck sports cars esp if you can find a Z51.

Remember most C5 and C6 vettes were garage queens that were driven by elderly people and not best to crap.

This is like a love letter to Dearborn and Ford the sound of N/A V8 at 7000RPM is magical.

Those are worth a lot of money same with the Nissian Silvia/240sx.

Did you hear the new Dodge Charger is going to weigh 5900lbs.. so looks like Stellantis might go bankrupt only so many $80k jeep wranglers on can sell.

Good news though there is going to bee lots of repos being turned in so great time to bee in the market for a used vehicle.

[weebles2]

I am seriously considering a 2016-2019 Ford Taurus SHO or the 2017-2019 Ford Fusion Sport any thoughts?

[weebles2]

What do you bees think of this?

[weebles2]

This would bee a fun truck 395hp Hemi V8 and RWD could be a fun drift truck or burn out machine.

Too bad GM killed of Pontiac it could been their performance Division.

[Sargent Smellibitz]

I had a dark red coloured Pontiac 6000 STE in my early 20's. It was fucking lovely to drive. Leather heated seats, onboard active stabilising suspension, all electronics including steering column controls before that really became a thing. It was a light show on the eyes every time the columns lit up. Drove like a peppy prince. Looked the goods too... good clean lines... I think it was an 87 or 88...

A 4 door purple muscle car? Mom had one. Traded it in within the year. A true lemon piece of shit.

[Seamajor]
