hotwire

Hotwiring is an art. No prosaic description of make, model, and color coding will do it justice. It is a seductive, magical act. Insulation is stripped, wires are coupled, sparking on contact, sometimes blinding, flashing, or shocking. It is dangerous, but it has potential. Whether you are rewarded with a blink, a quiet hum, a roaring shudder, or, best of all, fresh silence, you are allowed a brief and special moment of satisfaction. Locks are like many dumb machines, frequently unaware of the expediences of living intellect, and say what you will, sometimes it is unavoidably necessary for the living to unleash some righeous whoop-ass on the unthinking in order to set things straight.

Maybe you lost your keys, or maybe it's a revolution. Just be glad we still have the option.

Well, this is a nodeshell. I'd better fill it.

Actually, it's been moved from a nodeshell to here.

Pull away the plastic (or whatever) surrounding the ignition. Pull off any two identically coloured wires. Touch them together. Repeat until engine starts.

Unfortunately, these instructions are somewhat unreliable. If you were the sort of person to want to steal a car, it would be easier to go to some traffic lights and stick a gun through someone's car window, then take thier cars that way. No security systems to get past or anything.

Don't break the law, folks. Insert disclaimer here.
