someone is trying to kill me

"someone is accessing my car by satellite"

Please be perfectly honest and tell us that you really don't believe in your heart that someone is trying to kill you by electronically taking over your Corvette.

You have GOT to be joking!

This whole thread is a joke ...

Its a conspiracy. Its the illuminati!

Come on though... we should have fun some times here and obviously no one here is serious. This thread is most likely to get a good laugh out of all the funny ideas and conspiracies these guys are coming up with

Unless the OP really is serious and we as a community make it a joke, then something happens to him

Know how I know you haven't read the whole thread?

A Ford Model T can be "hacked" if you add enough hardware.

If I was thinking of "hacking" a Corvette (which apparently isn't even possible) I would instead direct my energies to hacking bank accounts, retirement accounts, etc. -- payoff is WAY bigger.

Assuming you don't get caught.

Where is one's time better spent, restoring a '63 Ford Falcon or a '63 split window?

The bottom line is simple...if the car has no way of receiving signals from the outside, then someone from the outside has no way to have any influence on it. Disconnect antennas and problem( or perceived problem...either way) solved.

There had to be levers attached to the wheel, brake and shifter and radio controlled with oversized servo's.
