Video - no option for me!
 
Ok, on a serious note. I would NOT be interested in any video equipment in the car. Call me old fashioned, but video in a muscle car, I am NOT a fan.

I wouldn't mind a small 7-9" general purpose LCD display for GPS/radio display/computer/engine monitoring/ etc. but certainly not for watching movies.

Gotta agree.... I'll watch TV at home; & I don't need GPS- I can read a road map!

GPS is for the shall I say directionally impared or if you want the politically incorrect version,.......... never mind! Before any trip I go over the route on a current road map or the internet and commit it to memory that way I'm not fumbling with a map or having to stop to look, because once the trip has started it's gas and go usually for me.:D

I have seen several systems that tie all of the different electronics into one display and means you only have to look at one screen. Now that being said, I read several replies having to do with GPS only. I am not sure how many of you have used GPS but while on travel in other cities, states, and countries but I have found it to be invaluable. I have a compass in my head but having to read maps in busy cities can be a pain. Mapquest works pretty well but just reading the directions. But I can tell you I have used GPS in Toronto, Washington DC - New York- Washington DC, Ohio to Illinois, Southern and Northern California. The version that works in the Hertz car rental with voice directions works fabulous as you just do what you are told and you never have to take your eye off the road
but the display is there for reference. If you miss an exit, it will automatically reroute you to get you back on track.

All that being said GPS is cool in the car but I plan on driving in my home state of Texas where I know where I am going.

i suppose that if i still traveled for work, i woudl like GPS, as i spent a ton of time away from home, but now it would just be added cost...

when i leave for a trip of sorts, im at point A...and i have a point B...and i have an intended direction, but in many cases, i stray from the course.

The voice on the GPS is always a female.

GPS would be ok, but that dvd and having screens to watch is a waste of mony to me.

I have to agree that GPS system should be an option (not standard but option) for those who want it. The TV in a muscle car idea is one of the most redicilous ideas I have ever heard. In my bias opinion, the only vehicles that should have TVs in them are family vehicles (SUVs, minivans, and station wagons) if then even. I think people watch way too much TV, but I can understand parents having their kids watch movies on a nice long 10 hour trip (I've been there many times). Anything that will keep kids quite and will make them behave for as long as possible while driving is a blessing.

Dude, RLSH, is closer to a kid than an old person. I'm old by years, but not by maturity, the wife will attest to that.

I think RLSH, was stating from his experience as a kid. I will agree w/ him. My family made a mad capped country tour in two weeks from VA to CA. It was a big circuit dipping down to TX out to LA to South Dakota through Chicago and back.

This was in a Plymouth Horizon and I was in the back @ 6' 1" at the time w/ my sister.

It was rather unenjoyable. A DVD/Television would have been huge.

Kids, don't know how good they got these days...well when I was a kid, we didn't have light!;)
