Well, the rest of us can just sit down. This is about as sanitary a mod as you'll ever see (but I expect no less from a guy who shods his GTi with deliciously understated Borbet B rims). Smart folks from Cupertino to Redmond and beyond have fretted over the concept of an in-car PC, but what better way to figure it out than to do it? As it stands, Matt, you have the ultimate car entertainment rig, but your setup will really make my mind reel when WiMax blankets Atlanta and your Asskickenwagen can enjoy a constant broadband connection. Clear Channel, Infinity, XM, and Sirius will shake in their business plans at the thought of this kind of live streaming in the car. Meanwhile, I have only a couple of nitpicks: the glove box may get too toasty, and make sure to prevent dust and coffee contamination in the card reader.
