Garage
On the other end of the spectrum, the day I brought my Speedster from my old place to the new one I drove all the way over there (45 miles) and realized I had forgotten the key. I still had some tools in the old garage, including a test wire (16 gauge wire with aligator clips on each end). I unscrewed the bezel and pulled the ignition switch down under the dash. Hooked up the clips, used a screwdriver to short across the starter contact, and I was off.
It would have been very interesting if I had been stopped. Driving a valuable collector car that is obviously hotwired, no registration or proof of insurance, and the driver doesn't live at the address shown on his driver's license.
