Don't put a kill switch on a car unless you also put a gas cutoff.  If you get
gas into the exhaust and suddenly start the engine, you can EXPLODE a
catalytic converter.  This may be a good idea to some people, but
not recommended for the general populace, especially if you have to 
pass an emmissions inspection.  

CA proposed putting cats on motorcycles about 2-3 years ago and they
would have required the kill switches be removed.  Personally, if we're
going to have a clean environment, check polutants/mile, not polutants/gallon.
