Default Tomorrow'* Toy...

Well, since I just realized July is a 3 PayDay month, tomorrow'* paycheck is all about CountryFest and toys.

Since my Check Engine light came back on this morning, I'm going to pick this up tomorrow...

The EZ-Read 2000 Code Reader is the most user-friendly, cost-efficient, and portable OBD-I and OBD II code reader available. With an EZ-READ 2000, users can access the same information dealers use on 1983 and newer domestic and all 1996 and newer vehicles. Comprehensive features include: displaying trouble and pending codes in plain English and resetting the "Check Engine Light" / MIL. The EZ-Read 2000'* affordability and abundant features make it the ideal personal tool kit for DIYers.

I gave my laptop to my son, and I can't afford a handheld with realtime scanning. Can't really afford this, but I don't wanna have to chase after other MN memebers everytime that stinkin' light comes on....

I am willing, though, to spend the extra 50 dollars for OBD I and II
