[VIDEO] Check Your MyChevrolet App to Opt Out of GM Sharing Your Driving Habits with Insurance Companies


There was a pretty big brouhaha that broke out last week following a New York Times article about GM’s OnStar being used to track the driving habits of owners, and many may have not realized that their cars were spying on them. We already knew about the black boxes in modern day cars that police may look at to determine how fast you were going prior to an accident, and we figured GM uses the data to determine whether or not to decline warranty service calls.

In its early years, this low-option 1969 Corvette coupe was intended for one task: to go fast.

Check out the “Holy Grail” of ’71 Corvettes as Dennis Collins goes to Maryland to pick up a real-deal LS6 in his latest YouTube video.

Dennis was a little skeptical about the car, having received lots of spam scam phone calls in the past, but when he finds out that this vintage Stingray has been given the seal of approval by an NCRS judge after two days of inspection, he’s ready to forget about putting it on a lift and instead just lifts his hand to write the check for the asking price.

Our friends at Mobil 1 the Grid have a new video up profiling the all-new Corvette Z06 GT3.R racer. We hear from all the major players at GM Racing and Pratt Miller Motorsports about the new car, how it was designed, and then which components are straight off the assembly line in Bowling Green, and which needed to be fabricated. In the video is Laura Klauser and Christie Bagne from GM Racing, while Grant Browning, Saverio Leone, and Ben Johnson offer their input as members of Pratt Miller Motorsports.

I believe we’ve seen some of these quotes and clips before from Pratt Miller, but Mobil 1 the Grid always does a nice profile on Corvette Racing.
