lol like something off pimp my ride, im sure they did something similar, but i have to say its not the ultimate,

the best one i saw was an inflatable american football screen, which popped out the boot inflated to something stupid like 40ft! and had an xbox 360 with dvd player connected up to it

I suppose it could be used as an auxilliary air brake. Shame about the compromised foward vision.

It would make a brilliant cockpit for a driving simulator. Plug in the X box; make a few USB Modifications to the controls and off ya go!!
