[s-cars] Hardwired V1

[Taka Mizutani]

Awesome Mark!

Now we just need a way to shrink the apparatus to fit inside the trunk, have
the
emitter in front of the engine to shield the driver from the microwaves and
have a
faster recharge time.

I'd want EMP, not straight microwave, though- like what happens after a
nuclear
blast. That would completely knock out the non-hardened electronics in Mr.
Smokey's
car and you wouldn't have to worry about Mr. Smokey at all.

As for taking paint off the side and cooking hot dogs, that would be funny
as hell-
would give Mr. Smokey a good reason to get OUT of the car, no way you can
read
radar gun readings if you're running away. :-)
