Anyone else get these? And, more importantly, do I win anything?

I think your score is more impressive than mine. Those percentages are pretty low. Mine were 20,53,52 and my overall score was 55. 664miles, 342 hard accelerations, 72 hard braking.

It looks like you're the state champion. Good work!

Now it's time to go for that national title!

State Farm actually will use this data if you are a customer and getting a 5% for Onstar use. Make sure you want to agree to share this data.......

They might sell this stuff, but only on an anonymous basis. In other words, here's what "all Camaro SS users are doing".

I'm kinda shifting the curve on the grading scale, though.

I'm actually a little surprised. I don't drive crazy. Not doing 0-6500rpm launches at every redlight. Just 3/4 throttle, up to 4k or so.

yeah, I think my insurance just went up!

LMAO nice work. Just went and checked mine, last month I was 20/50/50. I expect this month will be a bit different now that it is getting warmer out and my summer tires are finally on. I've had 65 hard accelerations since yesterday already

Yeah i remember when i picked up the vehicle i have state farm and they said on star can send driving data to them for a discount on insurance. i passed on that.

This is serious s&%t. Big Brother is watching you. I would like to find a way to disconnect any and all connections with Onstar. I heard of a way years ago. I will let you all know when I find out how again.

I got the same report after 500 miles, braking hard and hard acceleration many times. The Dems are trying to pass a bill right now to sell that kind of info and your internet info soon.

HogsFan75 · 04-03-2017, 08:04 PM

Thats funny, but pisses me off at the same time. Big brother shit right there.

KyleL · 04-03-2017, 08:08 PM

That's pretty cool! I found mine! My hard braking is a little on the low end since I like to hear the exhaust on a rev-matched downshift

Agreed... Pop the antenna inside the Onstar unit used to be the way.

They actually map where the instances occur. I can see all the curves near my house from the hard braking and acceleration triggers on the report map. I'm not too worried. If I stack my car driving like an idiot it won't be hard to prove. It's not like they will need to pull historical data of me driving like an ass to prove I was trying to triple the speed on the cautionary curve signs.
