I wish I still had my VW Corrado; that was a fun car. Now I have kids and a minivan.

Dinotte 600L & 140L combo

Now all you need is Topofusion (http://topofusion.com/). To put it crudely, it's slicker than snot. You can download track-logs and keep detailed records of your commutes, and pan-zoom the maps.
