If you can’t get enough of car performance statistics, and you’ve got an extra hundred and sixty dollars you’re willing to drop on finding them out, then I’ve got something fantastic to tell you about here, the ScanGauge II Automotive Computer.

It’s a foregone conclusion, of course, that it will tell you all those “error codes” that make your check engine light kick on.  That’s pretty much the top reason to buy one of these, so you can tell what that check engine light is actually trying to say.  I mean, there are HUNDREDS of things it can mean, and it can mean just about anything from “your catalytic converter is shot” to “you didn’t fasten the gas cap securely”.

But it doesn’t just handle error codes. It also tackles fuel economy, battery charge, coolant temperature, and any of a dozen other concepts as well, giving you literally the best possible status report you can have on your car at any given time without having your head under the hood while you drive.

Again, they’re a hundred and sixty bucks a piece, and you can buy them on ThinkGeek.
