Don't forget to use 802.11b wireless so that you can easily add tunes...if
you want to get fancy, run a simple LCD screen near the front of the car,
wired to the system in the back.  For bonus points make it a
touch-sensitive one.  Then use "gronk" or something similar to control
things (search on freshmeat.net).
