"Good topic, will come into use come Unkle Zed.

With all the various emission laws and rules, older rides have been steadily send to scrappers and crushers.
Finding an older rider sans security and electronic anti-theft devices, even here in the rural is becoming hard to do.

Hotwiring, we may be able to do, however breaking that damned locking steering, locks on transmissions, and even the e.locks on total systems, prevent the cars and trucks we might obtain from easy use.

Wish I had a happier reply, but sans coded keys, we're hosed for using them rapidly as situations blow up around us.

Anything post '96 will most likely have a combination of steering locks, secured ignitions, and ABS security. All leading up to a no-go for a rapid use for anti-Zed or escape working.

Cities may provide opportunity for fleet trucks and cars stored in their company lockups. Would help with time and getting things loaded and keys found. May also have fuel and assorted other necessities there for the Privateer and group to haul with.

Large trucks? Unless you or Teamie is used to air brakes, long loads, and driving in the panic, be less appealing in the Sudden Emergency scenario.

This may be a good time to try and meet up with someone who makes his or her living boosting cars. Learning nuances of the Modern Hotwire would be a good thing to have in the Team.

"Good post... I'm a car guy myself, "hotwiring" is somewhat a thing of the past.

You give a very realistic view of the anti-theft sytems in place today as well as well as the
older cars that aren't really on the road as much because they have simply been crushed.

Youll stil have to "crack" the column. and sometimes ignition cylinders dont come out unless
a key is in it to begin with.

I've been able to break the steering lock by simply laying down and using my legs to break it..
or just stand on the steering wheel, (ah you'll figgure it out) however the lock kinda catches and
steering is less than smooth..

I havent seen too much of the resistor type keys latey.. It's a passing fancy for GM.

Lastly the scredriver trick may work.. mainly this exploits a weakness in toyota car ignitions.
I do believe it was released as a TSB so for the most part if they never had it repaired at the
dealership, it might be easy to manipulate with the screwdriver.

Yeah.. I'm not a fan of that link.. its not likely to help..

Anywho.. why cant we just look for keys?.. ALOT of cars nowadays
have clicker remotes.. I'l just trigger the panic alarm..and find the car
if its in range.
