Can you say iCar?

I was sent this article from slashdot regarding a very extensive car customization with apple hardware:

ErnstKompressor writes “I came across a story detailing an awesome car mod out of the Czech Republic. The author undertook what must be the most impressive exercise in computer integration I have ever seen, installing an extensive Mac system with custom Cocoa software controlling nearly every aspect of a 1993 Tatra 613. On-board systems monitoring, navigation, entertainment, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, plus much more, are all rolled into a tight, extensible, package. Check it out.”

The actual site is:

although, good luck in trying to load it. Since this site has been “slash-dotted” and probably overwhelmed by the hundreds of slashdotters.

I must admit this guy is very creative and a bit looney… As much as I want to join the nay-sayers and say, “what a waste of time and money..” I must tip my hat off to this clever Czech, and say, “your car is off da hook!”
