My setup;

Laptop & Car 1:
Compaq Armada M300
Windows XP
Linksys WPC11 v3 (My Orinoco died, long story)
Earthmate GPS (with the GST-1)

In a 1988 Mazda MX6 Turbo (2.2FI), with the WPC, the Sunroof helps a lot. (Less metal). Its my fav car, fast, still looks nice (even tho the old year) and has *COLD* A/C (new system)

Laptop & Car 2:
Toshiba Satellite 3000-S304
Windows XP
Linksys WPC11 v3
Tripmate GPS

In a 1995 Pontaic Grand AM SE (Quad4). Still has pretty good pickup, but sometimes I don't detect the APs that I do in the mazda.

Laptop & Car 3:
Compaq Armada E500
Windows Longhorn XP w/MediaCenter
Linksys WPC11 v3
Earthmate GPS (no GST-1 on this one)

In a 1991 Dodge Caravan, because of the location, it still has pretty good pickup, this van actually has the whole in-car computer thing, which is the original reason for the wireless (So I can upload mp3s to it from the house, or do updates and such). I use the Earthmate with the Delorme software for trip nav and such, use mediacenter for playing mp3s, movies, etc.

All these setups are using NetStumbler. Pictures coming soon.
