PC-based monitor/programmer?

Bad enough someone is going to gab on a cell phone while they are trying to drive... Now they want to gawk at a computer screen instead of looking at what they are about to run into.... Driving a car is a full time proposition. If you don't believe that, all you need to do is read the newspaper.

no no no... im not going to use the thing as anything more than an extra gauge cluster while driving. Just a digital version of my analog (and totally inprecise) dash.

Now while parked waiting on the girlfriend to finish her shopping, why not screw around with some settings?

Jim c'mon... go grab a beer & watch some tv! He didn't say he was gonna fug around with it while driving... =(

too late for beer and tv, pats won. Unfortunately not by enough to make me any money :-/

japhar81 opined in news: snipped-for-privacy@giganews.com:

The Pats have singlehandedly screwed up the NFL betting system. I told everyone to bet the Pats on simple win but if anyone was dum enuff to give

10, take the Iggles and run!

heh, I bet pats by 7:/

My kid forced me to watch Fast and Furious... what can I say. At my age, knee jerk is the only reaction I can muster some days.

Apologies to japhar...

I still stand by my thoughts if people do monitor/alter running parameters in an "on the fly" scenario...

Besides... I bought a satelltie dish and gave up on TV... all I got to look forward to is scooter weather.

Ugh! Stupid movie!! But of course you were dead-on in your original post. I just don't think he was gonna do that... but if he was.. he prolly ain't now!! haha

I'd prefer to screw around with the girlfreind 8^).... Marry her and buy her a car and you wont have to wait....

I hope I didn't make a faux pas there.... Mrs mechanic has been married for

31 years. Appears to be the exception rather than the rule in these modern times...

Yeah, a bit young for marrying her yet. We are engaged, and she has a car, but still, i wind up waiting.

haha, no 2 fast 2 stupid for me, i swear! I just dont like the handheld things, theyre small, they dont give me pretty graphs, and, well, theyre not as cool as having it all built in.

Besides, I've already got a powerful onboard PC for GPS/Nav and code reading/diagnostics, Im just trying to integrate more.

At this point,, you're being trained!..

yeah, no kidding

Here's one you can buy built or in a do-it-yourself kit. Comes with the software and the API in case you're interested in writing your own code.

I don't have this one, but I have a similar one.
