Default The $29 Paper Clip

I went into Sears yesterday and saw an engine scan tool from Actron (?). As I read the features / instructions I was amazed at what this tool could do for you. Imagine this: you plug the tool into your ALDC and then count the number of flashes and then look up that 'number' in a book. Amazing!! :rolleyes:

I'll sell my paperclip for $10 and see if I get any takers! :lol:

Gee, lets invent a probe to read the flashes into a laptop, interpret the code and display the diagnostic routines.

We could sell it to Sears (or Actron) and retire. :D
