I love scenes where a character hotwires a car by:
reaching under the steering wheel and pulling a panel off. It isn't held on by fasteners or anything, it's just like wedged in place.
A bunch of loosely coiled wires tumbles out. In front are two thicker wires that are cut, stripped and tinned.
The character strikes these two wires against each other like attempting to strike a match, mostly to make sparks.
The sound of a car engine turning over plays.
Climb in, shut the door, put it in gear and drive off.
The loose panels, the wires falling out… that sounds like my last car
