RE: The Modern Miracle of Disposable Technology
I was really fond of the technology that gave me a car that with music, PBS radio, heat, air conditioning, air bags, automatic windows, etc but I really miss being able to do my own maintenance. I want to be able to check why my engine light has gone on without needing a computer hooked up to it.
What a scam that check engine light is. I think you can buy a usb adapter that lets your read the codes yourself. Around here I know the auto parts stores will plug in and check the codes for free.
Truth! the check engine light can come on simply because you haven't spent enough at the dealer's that year (of course, as we never go to the dealer's so it does show up on and off). I'll check on the auto parts store next time I get a light flash. Thanks!
