Back in the 70s I ran a business installing kill switches in my classmates automobiles. We were in the ghetto in chicago and vehicle theft was a real problem.

My solution was to put a switch across the points to ground. Would mount the switch in some out of the way place under a dash panel. With the switch on, the car would crank but no start. I even had one on my motorcycle. I had bought a bucket of switches at Maxwell street on Sunday morning, those were the good old days.

Oh but to have someone else have a digital switch on my car. Ain't going to happen. If I have paid for it then, I have the only real key. Not going to be a sheep and buy into technology that gives some unnamed bureaucrat any ability to not let me drive or fuel my car.

Proof of olds-cool.
