Well I stole the old Laptop from my mom, since she doesn't use it anyways. I'm going to set it up in the car to help with the tuning and all. But for now it'll just be a toy in the car until I start the turbo install. Going to use my cell for internet and be able to show Amsoil customers prices and even enter orders.

PLEASE dont be like the 'people' down here... and use your laptop while your driving!!

ive actually passed some guy using his on the expressway doin like 70MPH...

he was weaving and swerving all over the road...


i think a seat mounted braket could be made, out of angle AL, with "arms" that tuck under the seat back, and rests on the front of the seat... or a bolt on (removable)....

or you could look at Galls.com and get one that they use in a police car... :beer:

No worries there dude. I pull over to take a call on the cell.

i dont... but then again people dont call me... :(

i think the lap top idea would be ok if you could incorperate it into the dash some how. or hid the mounting stuff under the dash on the passenger side. there is alot of room. or if its small enough, modify the glove box. the seat thing is ok but then you lose the looks of the car and its kinda tacky..

good luck

i hook my laptop to my headunit and have endless music...hehe...plan on loading movies on it too....just put a 120gig hard drive in it so i have plenty of space! :grin:
im gonna use it for amsoil as well! hehe
i want to get one of those little office set ups they have for the passenger seat for you laptop too..i usually dont have people in my car so it will be nice!

mike if you need any parts to upgrade your laptop let me know i have found some good deals while upgrading mine......and i would be interested on what all you install for amsoil on yours as well..... :thumbsup:

Hey man found this today. Askign for price and any Add-on option it has.

Double DIN Car PC

I fear i need to quit my day job. I must be doing somthing wrong, the toys you guys are looking at are way out of my price range .. I was happy just mounting the 15" laptop betwen the seats and the dash for my GPS :whistling:

Turn right, turn right ... off route, off route ... WTF arggg

Come to Fort McMurray man. Lots of manoy to be made here. What's your profession?

Construction & Maintenance Electrician. So Yeah, I imagine i could find a job or two in your neck of the woods.

Not sure i want to go to Fort McMurray thou... Maybe my mind will change if the autoparts supplier i work for closes down. ( We build car jacks for almost everybody but Hyundai. I actually get discounts to buy North American Built cars, but i still got the Accent, go figure )

Well I'm High School educated and work out at the plants. Process Operator for 1 year. Was a Heavy Equipment Operator for them for the last 7 years. I make about $130,000 a year without overtime. So yah that's how I get the money for my car.

But to come here you need some sort of money. Housing it averaging $350 - $450 just for a mobile home. A single family dwelling starts aruund $450 and up. Rent is mre expensive thn buying, so leave that option out. But do rent a room or two to pay for house.

Here's a better link to the unit.
Double din 7" 16:9 Car PC Car Computer with GPS

Already got an email back from them. Expecting another anytime now on pricing.

Did you get a price on that yet ??

Nope and they are probably asleep right now as well. Maybe later this afternoon. Friggin alsome setup though.

****, that is one nice **** system! my guess in price is at least $1,000.

I was thinking more like $1500 but yah $1000 would be nice. This will be perfect for me, since I run my business out of my car a lot at car shows and meets. As well as when I'm out to visit customers. Also I can get rid of my cell phone, since I hate it anyways and just use the built-in phone of the deck. Google Maps for way better mapping than any GPS unit for Canada. I can't wait.

whoa whoa whoa... your wife wont allow you to get a turbo but she will let you get a 1000 -1500 buck toy for your business??? how does that work??? if thats the case ask for the turbo again and say its to help with promoting the product further. **** tell her that it will allow you to get to your customers faster!!!

LOL I wish, but I can write off the stereo and cell phone charges as a business expense. I can't do that with the turbo.

wow thats a really sweet unit. Ive never seen that before but that is completely badass. can you hook up a keyboard and mouse somehow?
