Toyota_MR2_Custom_1.jpg

When it comes to cars, there are interior tech modifications—such as upgrading the car stereo, or adding a navigation unit—and then there are interior tech modifications, such as this second-generation Toyota MR2, courtesy of Engadget.

The owner placed this impressive car for sale somewhere in Germany, but only for those interested buyers who possess the "prerequisite electronics and programming (especially Visual Basic) skills."

If that doesn't freak you out, here's some more info: the owner pulled out all the regular gauges and panels, and replaced them with various touch screens and a console mounted iDrive knob, offering control over "almost every aspect of [the car's] operation: climate control, GPS, fuel consumption, mirrors, radar/laser, wireless transfer of music from a home computer, lights, fog lights... and the all-important VCD playback."

There's also a mysterious "police button." One can only wonder.
