I think I just figured something out... Remember cash for clunkers?

it's the manufacturer's who have the power to shut off these cars

it's not hard, send a signal and the pcu is bricked

like i said if you are a genius computer programmer you might be able to by pass it

but it would be very hard

Every single new car is hackable. Every one.

in modern cars the car actually tells you exactly when the speed limit changes

and people think they can't remotely shut off your car at the push of a button

they forgot rope hangs them.

What;s depressing is that you think you figured this out, we've known this since it was happening, obummski was a piece of ivy coated dung.
He ruined the USA motor pool.
DEATH TO TRAITORS WHO RUIN OUR GEAR
FUCK THE DMV
OP CATCH THE FUCK UP
Every car is an eggcar piece of shit. When did we allow the wind and over paid engineers to design our cars? FUCK THEM BOTH.
Electric cars are another monorail fleecing the people. Try heating your electric car in bad conditions while the enemy drive a russian mpv. Fuck man, I am gonna install a wood stove in the back of my classic Suburban, because you people are gonna kill off everything good with your stupidity, not you OP but whatever took you 13 years to make this thread, shit's gone down since then OP

I believe you can turn that wood stove into a Wood gasifier... Run that "350 4bbl" on wood gas.

As a Machinist, I love innovation.
If you could make this into a smaller package, and easier for the average guy/or Gal/Or the other 56 genders... You'd be set for life.

Fuel cells are another game changer... you wanna be rich, figure out how to turn cat Sh!t, into a fuel for Space Travel.

\you can't flee the city if an "emp" shuts your car off.

He's not making it up, and it makes no sense to rational people. It was the law and it was criminal. Those who wrote and passed it should be in jail.

Oh really? They already turned my car off and I solved it with a phone call and prevented it from happening again by ripping the radio out.

HOW THE *** did a phone call fix the car?

Fully paid for to boot, it was not a repo effort.

You need to hack and secure it before someone else does!

That is why it happened. Not long ago either.
No spare parts, they tried to get rid of all the free running vehicles.

Now they can turn off most remotely using starlink (MuskBeam)

I already studied mine. I bought a separate remote circuit that can turn on anything with an antenna for the few seconds it is needed to unlock and start, then shut it off. If I dont do that they are going to shut it off the day the warranty goes out. They already did. Two months early. I work a political job and "they" hate me and damn well WILL brick the car if possible. Fortunately they gave me a good warning by bricking it 2 months before the warranty was up. Phone call went like: "Unbrick this NOW or you're paying for a warranty tow AND getting it working again. five minutes later, like magic it worked again.

Have a buddy who's job it was to kill the engines on the clunkers,he said that the 4.0 liter jeep engines ran the longest,ford and chevys died fast.have a 74 fj55 I'm keeping as my" prepper rig"

Anything with tight tolerances died fast.

I have a bunch of classic cars. I'll be fine.

imo, they wanted big engines that could out run the cops in chases off the road. there is easier ways of stopping travel or sectioning off areas. i-40 that i know of has cables that when i had a flat i noticed are insulitated where the metal poles go in the ground, would make a fine electric fence. not sure if that is with intent or if they are put in the ground like they are for another reason.

There was a thread a couple of years ago that the UK was recalling and taking old Range Rovers all over the place.

Mmmmm...

...Until they march up to your door.

When this goes down, your gonna need a place to go to, and... I just thought of something else, when they flip the switch, ALL the roads will be blocked by dead cars... holy crap.

Well...that gen of cars were the first to connect mobiles to the car by and large...and many had connections to SATCOM or dealer sites ,etc.etc.

According to articles posted at the time, they poured glass in engines so they could not be reused.?

And now the current Gen of cars, has a direct line to Xi Jinping.

Agreed

I said it back then too.

Op is right.

I knew it at the time so I bought up a couple of trucks and other equipment. Put them in long term storage in my barn. Hopefully you guys were paying attention.
