The hackers are not the scary part. You have elected a government that wants to control your life. Imagine the day when all cars are disabled and you have to get approval from some bureaucracy for your use of your car before they will enable it.




Now go fold yourself a new tin foil hat.

Solution: S2000 for life. And don't let anyone touch it.

Unless the car's ECU is somehow connected wirelessly to a network/internet, there's nothing to worry about.

No, that was the Bush Administration, they're not in power anymore. And for damn good reason.

The tinfoil hat part is the assertion that the U.S. government hacked into Toyotas and made them kill their owners in order to increase market share of newly nationalized GM's products.

That's a deluxe-tinfoil-hat-with-earflaps level conspiracy theory right there.
