No-Pay No-Drive Automobile Shut-Off Box

Real Tech News is running a story on what may eventually replace the repo-man.

A Virginia dealership has come up with a device that will kill your car's engine if you start to get behind on your payments. Apparently, they're intent is to use this little gizmo as a sort of insurance policy against high-risk car buyers.

So, if you find yourself shopping for a car in Norfolk, avoid Patriot Auto Sales.

I guess there is no shortage of horribly stupid ideas...
