A long, long time ago in a far, far distant past…

Complex Car Software Becomes the Weak Spot Under the Hood - The New York Times

"New high-end cars are among the most sophisticated machines on the planet, containing 100 million or more lines of code. Compare that with about 60 million lines of code in all of Facebook or 50 million in the Large Hadron Collider."

…as anyone who’s ever seen Grease or Rebel Without a Cause or dozens of other movies and TV shows (or actually been there) knows, geeks hacked cars. They rebuilt engines, adjusted suspensions, pried off chrome. 

This looks like even more fun.
