[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3646742, member: 26737"] Auto manufacturers did some squirrelly things back in the day. I remember my dad and the other men in the neighborhood frequently asking "what idiot thought this would be a good idea?" in relation to some feature of a car, but I don't recall hearing of anything that odd. An older OHP Trooper did once tell me about some vehicles they had back in the early '70s that had their hoods chained shut and could only be opened by the manufacturer, but that was some kind of special test program, not production cars. You might be thinking of GM's EV-1, their first electric car. They were all leased, not sold, so they might've done something like that to it. [/QUOTE]
