29 posts for someone to cut through the hysteria and point out that this isn’t really an issue of allowing people to “wrench” on cars as much as it is a software copyright issue.

Yep.

And a warranty issue as well. If I'm the manufacturer and you monkey with the engine code and blow the engine up, then you'll expect me to pay for the repair?

Remember "bow legs"?

Then they'd come in with bad wheel bearings and want warranty coverage. This is the same thing with software.
