Announcer: The following is a recording of one of our OnStar(bucks) operators and a client…

Christine: Hello?

Operator: This is OnStar(bucks), and our remote sensors have indicated a coffee spill in your vehicle.

Christine: What? I haven’t spilled… Oh no! My coffee is all over the floor.

Operator: That’s what our computers showed us ma’am. But don’t worry, we’ve already pre-ordered a replacement cup for you at the nearest Starbucks.

Christine: But the coffee is also all over my report! I just spent three weeks working on that and it’s due in an hour! And how am I going to get the stains out of the carpet.

Operator: I’m afraid we can’t help with…

Christine: That report’s for a big customer. If I don’t have that ready I’ll probably loose the account and my job!

Operator: Ma’am, I can’t do anything about that. But I’m sure once you’ve had some coffee, you’ll feel a whole lot better.

Christine: Well… I guess you’re right. Where’s the closest Starbucks?

Operator: Let’s see. Go straight for two more lights…

Announcer: An OnStar(bucks) vehicle’s advanced sensors not only detect a coffee spill before you do, they also automatically call the OnStar(bucks) control desk where a friendly operator will immediately direct you to the nearest Starbucks where your favorite coffee order will be waiting.

OnStar(bucks). We can’t help you clean up the mess, but everything looks better once you’ve had some more coffee.

OnStar(bucks) sensors may interfere with car radios, computerized vehicle controls and some pacemakers.
