There are many people who are working behind the scenes to push it to that point.

I'm on the fence about it.

Part of me feels that it's cheapening the hobby, part of me feels that it's a great achievement for the hobby, that individuals have driven the developers and inventors to make things that could be ready for the average consumer....hell, VW is already working on it.

Not real sure how I feel about it...like I said, I'm on the fence.

Yes it will be nice when it is easier and cheaper to get some of the components for a carPC. But then how orginal will the installs be?

precisely, which is why we should all always strive to find new and innovative uses for the CarPC.
