looks kewl...

 

yeah for only $139 it looks a whole lot kewler

 

hmmm, neat.

 

What about the palm pilot dataloggers? I think they were in the neighborhood of $175 and you can view the data realtime. You can reset CEL's with the touch of a button! Anyways, here's the website http://www.pocketlogger.com.

 

Looks interesting, I wonder what the patent number is for that thing.

 

Yeah i saw the Palm Datalogger, I totally agree its a nice unit I was just giving an alternative to it.

nice! i want one, but i'm obd-1...............

 

I don't think a measurement every 5 seconds would be of any practacal use.

 

Neat, but it would have sucked if my parents would've had that when I first got my license! I don't they would've liked some of the figures I've gotten on desolate back-roads.

 

My thinking exactly when I viewed it at SEMA.
