That scene bothered me more than anything else in the episode because it was impossible and totally unrealistic. It's not only that you can't simply join two wires together in any model of car made in the last 25 years or longer, it's how easy they make it look like you can get to the wires in the column and identify them. I mean they basically got into the car and had the ignition wires in their hand in less than 15 seconds. Never mind that many cars would have the steering wheel locked rendering them impossible to drive in anything other than a straight line. It would be nice for movies and shows could move to some realism but I feel in 20 years we could have electric hovercrafts and shows would still have people breaking into them and joining two wired under the dash to steal them.
