I wrote this for the NYT’s special section on cars today: My Car Sounds Better Than Yours. It’s about people who install ridiculously elaborate custom-built MP3 systems in their cars. Some related links:

— Robert Bean’s CarMP3 page, with photos of the molding job he did to make it look like the laptop screen in his dashboard was factory-installed.
— Ryan Veety’s Car MP3 Player.
— The Linux Jeep Project.
— MP3Car.com is where these people hang out.
