Good luck with that, dude.

On a side note - I finally saw an HHR on the street. I've decided I like it better than my initial impressions allowed for.

Reminded me of the original Suburban in miniature.

if you have the money go for it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif, if i had it i would do it..... although im sure i wouldnt use it that much.... and wireless internet, searching for a hotspot..... eh, i could only steal other connections around here, are you going to get internet access

 

[Randy Savage 5,000+ posts]

Yes, I'm going to set it up with wireless internet access.

I planned on getting a screen anyway- the computer is costing me less then $400 for the parts, and the monitor is another 350. The cost really isn't all that bad. I can add GPS to it for another $150 or so as well. Can interface satellite radio, and I'll have a 160 gb HD for my music/movies //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Sweet. Take lots of pics.

Also, give details. What you're getting and such. I'm interested.

NG

PS: Get at least a 250gig HD //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif...

carputer sounds awesome

I would get two wireless cards (one like the verizon car to dial out anywhere, and one for hotspots). Make sure you put a few plug in point somewhere in the car (usb, serial, firewire. audio).

Should be pretty fun.

If you have a cell, you could seem it for cable;

*That is to say, if you're on a 1xRTT or EVDO [verizon, cdma] network, you may be able to hex-edit the firmware in your phone to enable it to function as a broadband cellular modem, which you could then connect to your caputer by datacable (mobile office kit)

Which phone do you have?
