Default Input: creative ideas! (kill/cutoff switch locations)

Yea... so lets hear some ideas for locations and types of switches.

I'll list some of the best I've heard of so far:

- Have the switch under the shift boot, press the swtich through the boot. Can't see the switch.
- Use a magnet activated switch behind the dash. Another switch that's invisible.
- Momentary contact, trips a relay. Have to low power contacts that when shorted trip a relay that stays on as long as it has power. (looses power when car shut off) This could be good because you are the switch, just have to touch 2 contact points in the car at the same time.
- Combination switch. Requires you to input a code before enabling. Can be placed anywhere.

What are some other idea's for types and locations?

when you sit in your car, touch your left foot in the drivers seat, next to it should be a plastic peace. put it somehwere there, or near your fuse box, looks confusting but you know whats going on.

I have a friend that did that, it cut off the fuel pump and its a great kill switch.
