I'm aware of the NCIS scenes, what else you guys got?

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

in defense of that first point, I've been in plenty of cars where the panel under the steering wheel was easy to rip off, whether it was screwed in or not.
Plastic is not that strong. especially if its an older car.
especially especially if its a older car thats spent its life in a hot climate.

Mine sometimes falls off on its own. Super annoying.

I fixed that on my grandfathers car with bailing wire, lol

I remember gta chinatown wars on the DS have an elaborate minigame to hotwire a car, probably wasn't realistic too, I just liked how it took some time.

I thought that got canned

The implication is that they're so good at ripping the panel off, all the fasteners come off too.
