I have read the whole thread and am amazed that only one other reader recommended a PC104 solution. I have been working on PC104 for a wearable 802.11 data acquisition system, this could easily be adapted to your car project. History and rough details: PC104 is a form factor PC board that is 3.6" x 3.8". They are available with many processor choices, just depends on what you want to spend (both in $ acquiring and in power during operation), but most of the available models have serial, parallel, and ps2 built in standard, and most have PCM/CIA (for your 802.11), EIDE(if you need it), CompactFlash (a bootable EIDE substitute & no moving parts), and USB for your camera. The little squarish modules are stackable, so if you need something else just add it on, as I stated above I needed a analog data acquisition board, no problem.
