killing cars with high RF?

Hi,
What's all this business I hear people talking about blasting people's
car stereos or killing cars altogether with high-power RF?
Let me relate this story, again, but I like it!
One time I pulled up to a red light while talking on my CB with a 667.
When I unkeyed, I noticed the guy next to me starting his car. When he
got it going, I keyed up and his engine died. I waited for the green
light and keyed up and nailed it! The guy was stuck at the light, restarting!
I used to be able to watch people's TV's flicker as I drove past, before cable.
Now I can turn on all the motion sensor lights on the street as I drive by
with a 2 pill.
One hour until there are no CW requirements anymore! Ye-ha! Got my Wilson 1000
mag mount, 2950, an external speaker and a cigarette lighter power cord ready.
I've got a few hour drive around town every day in a company car. I'll use my
KW-7 and 2 pill when I get back from my drive. I did a receive test Tuesday
night. The KW-7 has much better ears then a Wilson 1000 mag mount on 11 meters.
Of course, the antennas are tuned for 27 MHz. I'll have to cut a KW-7 down a
bit on the top to tune one for 10. Then I'll need to carry 2 of them, one for
10 and one for 11...tune for midway and be half-assed on both? Hmmmm.
