Finally get to pretend I am one of the cool kids - Holley kit swap

You know, cupholders are one thing that you kind of take for granted nowadays. It's only after owning three cars with zero cupholders between them (maybe half a cupholder if you count the Viper, but it's technically an "ash tray" that just so happens to be cup sized) that I realized how much of a pain it is. Maybe even more so now that I'm married and have a wife who loves her coffee, lol. The Viper one is especially bad because it's right behind the shifter and pretty shallow, so any spirited driving and you're going to make a mess, which I think was probably somewhat intentional given the design mandate of "no cup holders". It was fine when it was just me as I rarely had one drink in the car, let alone two. She actually bought me one of those cupholders you stick between the seat and center console for the Viper. Makes it so no one can really sit in the passenger seat comfortably, but easy enough to just slide out. I've just been using the drink carrier for the Dart and my old 71 Vette I just haven't ever done a coffee run in, lol. It's an automatic though, so I can stick a cup between my legs if it's just me for short term stuff. I could probably do the same drink carrier idea in the parcel area behind the seats on that one though.

I'm more excited about the idea of integrating my display into a console though. An arm rest would be handy as well and I might even see about getting one of the control knob things out of a modern car to use with it as a mouse. I bought a HAT for the Pi that was designed partially with one in mind as the guy included a CAN chip to talk to a BMW or Mercedes unit if I remember correctly. Could make it a lot easier to control than the touchscreen since the system is Linux based and really more like a shrunken computer than a real dedicated automotive device. Pretty hard to press some of those tiny buttons on a 7" screen, especially while moving.
