Wow.. I already had a top of the line (P2 400) laptop installed in my car YEARS and YEARS ago. Sound rigged to a phat phoenix gold and two punch XLC 12″ subs. Projector in place of the sunroof.

I may even still have the diagrams. I don’t have the car anymore. totaled it when I dropped the tranny crossing over a set of train tracks. you guess what happened next. *cries*
