    If you have a 96 or later (with OBD 2) the Scan Gage is my favorite. This device will give you all the outputs of the ECM, plus calculate instant fuel economy, average fuel economy, etc. I like the output of spark advance, 5 throttle, water temp, air inlet temp.

    If you have spoked wheels on your car you can also use a clothes pin and a baseball card.
    Curb feelhers are another good accessory.:)

    That's hysterical, but I'd buy it for laughs.
    It certainly illustrates what a sloppy gear change that Kia has.

    Some very nice ACME-options in the fifties :D (watch the Buick SW at 2:20):

    or (= same as above)

    Somehow I can't get the embedded player to run here on the SWF (where it isn't a problem on other boards :hmmm: )

    What the H.E.K.

    Thought is was a nice addition to the accessory items in the wagon, but look at the price :slap: $500 and still more than a day to go before auction ends.

    Thanks, Andy. Do you have one? The site gives very little info on the things it does.
    EDIT:
    Well.....maybe it does....just clicked "features". Thought I was ON the feature page & wasn't.

    You are looking at this as a nice addition to add to your wagon. These other guys want this because it will set their car apart from others in the judges eyes.

    For that kind of cash, you could probably build a fire suppression system, a boatload of flares, and a case of tire sealer...

    I have been looking at that, too. Got out of the bidding when it got to $250. It's cool, but there'll be something else that I'll like more for the same money...
