I would absoluely wii in your TSX. It might be hard to play some of the "high movement" games though. I'd love to see somebody playing tennis or baseball in your car. Somebody might call the cops!

Boxing might be very interesting. I say go for it though. I used a PS/2 for quite a while a few years back. It was actually back before there were very many DVD players for the car and I ran in with an Eclipse 7002. It was really cool and the small screen was not a big factor.

It would be pretty cool. Please be safe and let the passengers be the only players, unless you're parked.

It would be funny driving by and seeing people going nuts in the car....

Don't do it....Distraction to the driver and possible breakage...

Would also be pretty hard to mount the sensor bar and get accurate motions. Its a cool idea, but I don't see it being pulled off successfully.

haha well i thought about possible mounting locations for the sensor and i think it would look find right on the cars dash, its not too big and black anyway so it will match, and when people ask wth is that...let the fun begin =]

ps, i'll make sure the windows are rolled down when its in play lol. Also i know it is a distraction to other drivers too, i have the kareoke game and let girls play it in the car, man there loud i got alot of honks but not sure if it was in a bad way

You know it's very easy to mod the bar - it's not an actual sensor, it just emits IR light. You can cut it up and wire it to the car's power if you wanted to or just some IR emitters that are really tiny.

This is a little off topic but somewhat related to the above post. Wii Whiteboard project: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s5EvhHy7eQ

It would surely be unique. I could see the unfortunate situation of the wii strap breaking and the remote sailing into A your windshield or B your head while driving...both of which would be bad lol.
