Naw. The Possomobile's (is that it, I don't often see the show)
computer box died so instead of buying a new one, he runs Debian on an
old VAX to run the engine since all the emission controlls are connected
with VAXum hoses. This is why the Possomobile is a van; Vax don't fit
in lesser vehicles.
Of course, the ignition module was replaced by a SPARC running Debian.
The bumpers are a little rusty. He has new Itanium ones...
:) :)
Doug.
