you're in the right place... if you want to have a self-made environment :)

computer in your CAR??! wow... I want one!! but anyways, litestep could be the right track, only problem is, I've never heard of any litestep modules that support using a touch screen...

well a touchscreen is almost like a touchpad, but instead you're using the real screen :) ...i guess.
it's actually same as using a usual mouse, only that touchscreen is more unprecise so the buttons need to be larger. that's where ls steps on the stage. with ls you can make your desktop buttons be as big as you wish :)

Ive not only heard about it being done I have seen it done. Unfortunatly most themes used for cars aren't posted here because it doesn't pertain to a normal desktop. What you are prolly best off doing is making your own. That way it goes with with interior concepts of your car. Big square buttons with text are really easy to do and should take you all of a couple seconds to get done. Good luck
