I went war-driving on a whim today. You wouldn't believe how much personal information your car leaks out. I saw names like "Drew's Chevy" and Oscar's Audi S5".

I locked my car down as much as possible when I got it.

I don't really see Wifi as much of a privacy risk.

When you put your name on the WiFi, and combine that with your license plate being visible to everyone. That's a lot of personal information that you're leaking.
