Right just a bit off topic here... I 've got Dr Who - Caves of Androzani and in it the doctor says "i'll adjust the solenoids" and on the commentary the director said that he nicked that from Speilberg. This dvd was done before war of the worlds so I assume this must be in other Speilberg films as well. Cruise said to the guy at the garage "replace the Solenoids". What's Speilbergs obsession with Solenoids What are Solenoids (i dont know if I spelled it right)

A car solenoid works like a large electric relay, using a small current through an electromagnet to create movement in an iron core switching high current to the starter motor. Maybe Speilberg has had lots of car troubles over the years! ;D
