Ethan, your idea is badass, and that placement is mint! One problem... My car is LHD. 
Still, you've got me thinking now... that's dangerous, to my wallet... 
I think I will hardwire A/F in where Nd4Spd has his in the Xterra, or similar at least, and then keep a netbook close at hand for race occasions. I can't wait until they finish the iPhone/Android apps for Megatune.
They can randomly search your car like that?! Wow, I forget how blessed we are here... That's crazy to me...
I've been ticketed 4 times in 7 years of driving, out of about 15 traffic stops.
My worst ticket was a Reckless driving, in my girlfriend's car... She totaled it, had it reconstructed and declared road-worthy, and then the brake master failed during rush hour and I rear ended a car at ~25 MPH.
I sprained my ankle locking up the manual bypass on the brakes. The officers interviewed me at the scene and left 100% of it out of the police report, instead recording what was said at the hospital later. No Miranda Rights or anything, classy stuff. I should upload pictures of the police report... the part where they said "estimated speed 25-30 mph, 35 mph zone", and then 2 lines later "cause of accident: Driving too fast for conditions". This was in the middle of July, about 85 degrees and not a cloud in the sky.
I plead out of the garbage ticket after they disallowed 5 of my 7 witnesses, so I could avoid the otherwise impossible to dodge criminal charges. Instead I take a careless driving, and the fat POS who "Reported me as a drunk driver" without ever dialing 911, lambasted me in a courtroom about how I need to learn to drive safely. Cute, huh? I'll never respect a police officer just for holding their station. If they want respect, they can earn it like anybody else.

gotta make this work!!! Haha
94+ had a weird dash... Honestly my least favorite part about the 94+ cars. Manual belts, airbags, I believe a deeper center console? Not bad ideas...
