    You don't have a wireless (802.11) card in your laptop? Sometimes we stream FOX shows over wireless to a laptop in the bedroom if we don't feel like watching the TV in the living room. Wow, I'm a big dork too then.

    hah heres dorky for ya... when i was doing my rear door popper install, i hooked my laptop up to my video monitor so i had the instructions on that screen which was easier to see than trying to balance my laptop on the seat or putting it on the ground where itd get smooshed... since then ive added a wireless keyboard and mouse so that i can just use my indash monitor as my computer screen to use aim, surf the web etc (while parked of course..) makes it look like my VX has a built in computer

    You see, its not like it used to be. Computers are in now, technology is hip, and its cool to be a nerd! So rock on.

    PS - I once saw a shirt that said "I was uncool before uncool was cool". I should have bought it, since I have been a nerd all along...

    Sweet, next you'll do what I did. Put a toilet and a big tub sink in the shop (which comes in very handy). Of course my shop is only 200sq ft smaller than my house so that makes it a little easier to do things like that when your playing with 2k sq ft shop with a 10ft ceiling. Throw the TV up on the wall and my friends wonder why I'd ever go in the house, I tell them to eat of course. Next on my list is a car lift, just really hard to justify it being that I only work on family and my vehicles.

    I agree though, internet in the shop is a wonderful thing. I just ran mine from the wireless router thats in the house.

    Talking

    Well then call me a nerd!

    This past weekend i did the remote antenna mod (btw for the new comers, a very well recommended mod!) and instead of printing the instructions i just took my lappy out to the VX, ooh, and had my mp3 running while chatting to a friend.

    Amen!

    Last year I listened to most of Le Mans whilst working on my 2CV in the garage (project now aborted.. ) and I have this picture of me, well, tearing apart the deash' of the Yaris to fit a radar detector...
