Default Screw Santa !!

He brought me nothing for the vette, so I bought one of these.
The Star Wars dash is going to be a tad cooler looking this spring, not to mention more functional.

How dare you insult Santa. Were there dirt-bikes in Star-Wars. If you want something cool from St. Nick, get out your credit-cards. Things ain't where they used to be. (I got a Porter-Cable polisher and autoxray (but I paid for them).

Man, that's cool! Looks like a sweet Christmas present to yourself. When's the Xbox360 or PS3 going in place of the breadbox??

You gonna mount that in the bread box delete panel?

Cross it into a GPS and your datalogger.

Sweet,

Just be sure you'll be happy with the way the "hi-tech" looks with our low tech dash.

There may me a couple other choices that do not appear as fururistic.

Later.

Screw that, install a standalone monitor where the check engine light display is, and relocate the lights to a covert place.

I was looking to buy a DVD deck and a larger screen to go in the breadbox, but I wanted touch screen and this seemed like a quick fix.

You won't see any vette action from me for a few years. I have to replace my rent with a house payment.

Very nice agent! It will go perfect with the star wars action already going on on the dash.

Did you ever find a website that shows actual screen functions when the unit is on? I'm looking at a double din Kenwood unit for my '91 interior this summer but I can't find any pic's of an actual screen shot of the unit when a CD is playing or radio is on, just the biker video shot and the damn hockey player screen shot. None of our local stereo stores carry the kenwood unit in stock so I can't check one out locally.

For added effect, hook up an in-car Atari system and bust out some space invaders or centipede on there.
