So today i was thinking about random crap on my day off and I came up with this awesome idea:

Have you ever been on road trips with friends or family and someone says "I feel like listening to......" and you realize that oh crap I left that CD at home.
Have you ever wanted a DVD stereo but cant afford a decent one?

Well I just thought of a solution to that problem,

Getting a laptop well i already own one so that why i said its a cheap idea,
Put heaps and heaps of top 40 songs on and popular songs on it oh and add ur own, put lots of music videos in it, and also a few dvd movies. And Hook the Laptop up to your car sound system!

Good idea or what?

I thought about that also, but decided to turn all my music into MP3 and put 150 songs on a disk. so Now I have just a few CD's with all my music on it :D

Full speed Ipod connection via my Alpine headunit :) been using it for about 7 years and haven't looked back :D

The laptop idea could work tho, as long as you had someone else to work it while you drive.....

I would have it set up so i only have to press 2 buttons to change music like the head deck.

I'd find it a bit distracting to watch music videos while I'm driving..... lol.
My car has an Ipod dock, so of course I had to buy an Ipod to go with it.

my head unit has usb so we put in a flash drive
we watch channel v on austar a lot and we like a song we just download to the laptop and transfer to the flash drive
as for dvd could be a great idea with the latop
we will be looking at putting in twin lcd's in the back soon
