I threatened this way back in October, but now it's a reality...

Pokeswagen is no more! From now on she shall be called eWesty! She features:

- Music playback: FM/AM, CD, MP3, WMA - Movie playback: DVD, DIVX, Quicktime, WMA - GPS-based On-screen navigation - Speech synthesis-based driving directions - Speech recognition - Wireless internet access o Email access o Instant Messenger access o VPN (for work) - Full WinXP "functionality" - Wireless keyboard & gyroscopic mouse - Start/Hibernate on ignition

No, Stan, it does not have an 8-track, but it does have a kitchen sink... <insert rim shot sound here>

My theory was that my '91 didn't have *enough* delicate systems and wiring to break, so I should increase the complexity of it by an order of magnitude. Mission accomplished.

Kudos to those of you who regularly document your work. What a royal pain in the ass it was to write that!
