[off-topic] OBDII scanner

[Craig Inches]

Hi Jim,

I haven't heard of any reports of them damaging the car... the most common
complaint was that it isn't an official ELM chip, but a clone which
surprise surprise is buggy as all hell. Let us know how you go with that
for its a good price.. if it works :P

Cheers,
Craig
