    Rock on, dude!!

    This is just awesome. Seriously, the many uses of the Mac Mini will just keep on surfacing. It know no limit. Period. Those sceptics around me are coming full 180 degrees and seeing the potential for the Mac Mini.

    Original NOT

    it can't be an original 1969 with a 2005 part in it. It's a "customized" Nova, but it is not "original."

    Bowtie heaven

    That's got to be the best 2005 chevy onboard computer out there. The Bus 2 system is a joke. I actually have to 'reboot' my 2005 truck pcm to get good fuel economy. Erm...America...I bought for the 35 UAW guys and their families, but can we at least move our cars from x86 to something that works. I really don't want to catch the OnStarw32 virus. If we get 2006 Vegas, Novas, Pintos, and maybe AMC coming back w/ delayed millenium edition gremlin can we please get candy bars for 10cents a pop as compensation? This car sounds like a nice setup and it's on of the best uses (why get a portable dvd player when you can get an ibook). When's alpine making a mac mini compatible head unit?

    Oh, splendid...

    Yet another thing to distract people as they're driving. "Sorry about running over your kid; I had this tune going through my head that I wanted to get down."
