(raise 16000$ by next winter to put in car, getting a car loan to pay for the car) The trunk option will also be cool because i can mould a sweet fiberglass housing for it.

From ALL your other posts, what you are going to be doing is FULLY rice, so you shouldn't say that you don't want rice. A wing on a FWD car is rice, a wing on nearly any car is rice (30LBS of downforce at 160MHP..)

If it's going to be the likes of you driving around sporting your system, I think perhaps NOT having you do this might be the best thing that could happen to the community

But that is just me

thats REALLLY FUNNY...I'm seriously giggling right now!

I'm in agreement here, and he wants to spend what was it, $16,000, on a car that isn't worth the effort (I have one, I know

)

SiGmA_X you just scared that guy away.

Seriously but I don't really know what you are planning to do. Most of us just trying to get that little 7inch monitor in the car, and you want 2 17inch in that little Jetta. There is NO space to put that 2 LCD and the tower in the front unless you take out the sterring wheel. Well you won't have the space problem if you get a Hummer.
A Boeing make wing, roll case, convert to RWD, Turbo, NOS? what else you want to put in there?
Those are doable if you take it to Monster Garage (if you don't know what it is, watch Discovery Channel).

Okay, just get REAL. Wake up and go to school man.

Windows will all way crash it doesnt matter how new the computer is. your best option would be to use linux/unix. + unless your going to be doing some high end gameing you dont need the computer to be that fast but Large amouts of ram would be good.

nzKAOSnz · 10-13-2003, 06:55 PM

CAN SOMEONE ANSWER ME PLEASE

WHYYYY DO U NEED A TACHO IN AN EMERGENCY?????

as far as i understand, there is no data going into the ODBII connecter.
so if comp crashes, big deal. o its a pain in the ***, but hell, u can still get to the
garage/home whateva

Something fun and off topic but related to computer and car.

"For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part):

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and! reopen the windows before you could continue.
For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive -- but would run on only five percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.

7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

10.You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

Aint it the truth!!"

Oh... People please... If he wants to kill himself and screw up a nice car, let him. He'll learn from his mistake.

Killing himself is one thing, killing the poor bloke and his family sharing the same road with him is another thing.

Are you bored like me. Posting in 4 year old threads can be fun

Intresting thread though.
