how to hotwire a car

ah, the first tidbit. it came to mind first because i was watching 24 last night, and realized just how many times jack bauer has had to hotwire a car to get out of one bad situation after another. consequently, i now have a theoretical knowledge of how to start a car, no key required. keys are for weaklings.

how to hotwire a car in three easy steps, or how i learned from ctu agent jack bauer:
step one: use your elbow to break the driver's side window so you can unlock the door from the inside
step two: yank out the panel underneath the steering wheel, exposing all those wires
step three: find the red wire and the yellow wire, twist them together like twist-ties
now the car should be running.

not that i've had the chance to test this knowledge, because i don't have a car and my buddies won't let me try on theirs, go figure. but there it is, now you know.
