    The pathetic state of my carputer

    Well....here is my so awesome 'carputer' that is totally useless to me as a carputer. Everything seems to function correctly, and I am now doing the 'integration' stage. I wish that I could build a time machine then I could install it quickly, well, whatever, it should be really cool!

    As you can see from the concrete floor, my addition is not completed yet either, oh how I wish that I had a time machine!!!!

    As you can see there, the MOST IMPORTANT article is there and it is the chewing tobacco that I need when doing this!!!! BTW, the GPS receiver is dangling above the picture on the left side hooked to the top of the styrofoam sheet!

    Everything so far seems to operate correctly, I will get the nag screen killer for iGuidance when I have time (there is that time again)...well I have alot to do including finishing the addition and sometimes I have to travel for my job (last week I went to Anacortes, WA!!!)

    is that a wireless card on top of the left speaker? Finding time can be a pain, and when you do find time you will probably realise that you need another part like USB extension cable or something. Mines almost done, just need a custom case for it, and I can't find time to build one.
