Hey, if you want unusual computing activities from cars, try this one on. 
While driving home from the Shenandoah Valley this weekend, we ran into
car problems.  While waiting for roadside service, I pulled out my
notebook, found two access points, and submitted changes on our
integration of MAC support into IPsec in Perforce.  I ran into about 60
wireless devices on the drive back, of which 35 were APs.  60% of these
didn't use WEP.  Unfortunately, at 65+ miles an hour, you don't get a
whole lot of time to talk to each AP to see if you can get a lease, etc.
