Hot-Wire a Lamborghini?
Okay, so you can't hotwire a Toyota Corolla or a Honda Civic, but you can hotwire a Lamborghini? What kind of bull is being shovelled here? Do any of you mechanic types have proof you can't hot-wire this car? You would think the reporter would have checked it out, but ...

Soldier says he hot-wired Odai Hussein's Lamborghini, leading to his death with brother Qusai

An Oklahoma soldier stationed in Iraq hot-wired Odai Hussein's Lamborghini sport utility vehicle, military records say, and the soldier goes on to claim his action lured the son of the former Iraqi dictator into a U.S. trap.

But the account from Spc. Jeremy Huhman of Enid, Okla., as passed along by his mother and Oklahoma U.S. Senate candidate Kirk Humphreys, differs on key points from the official version of the raid last July that killed Odai, 39, and brother Qusai, 37.

In Huhman's account, his hot-wiring of the expensive Italian vehicle caused a worried Odai to emerge from the villa where he and Qusai were holed up. The Army has said only that troops surrounded the building and stormed it after firing missiles and rockets. No other witnesses saw Odai come outside.

3. Lamborghini started building SUVs decades ago
I guess an older model might not have an immobilizer system :shrug: .
