That's why Mora has a problem with carpool lanes on freeways?  I think maybe we're not talking about the same thing. :)

Yes my friend all that came with the vehicle,it need not to be installed.

ATA: You are operating under a really big misconception.

I have a full computer, running Windows XP with a music/video/navigation/network scanner etc etc etc running, and that computer also hooks into the OBD-II port on my car and also logs/analyzes the output of the computer that's built into the car in the factory.  

Does that make sense now?  I think you are very confused, but it's ok, it's Christmas.

How did you make the OBD-II interface?

Mora: Didn't make this one, got it at obddiagnostics.com.  It's saved me a bundle already when a crooked emissions tester told me that my car failed because the 'Check Engine' light came on at one point.  The computer said differently.  He really didn't expect me to be able to pull that stuff up.

Thanks, I hadn't realized that you can buy them online. Maybe I'll get one.

I noticed that Chairboy does a lot of aggresive driving. Lots of tailgating and pushing other cars to move over to the next lane. Not a very road friendly driver I would say.

Everything looks aggressive at 100x speed.  :D  The 'tail gating' you saw near the end was at between 2-4 mph.

A couple things, Autozone will give you a free reading if your check engine light comes on.

ATA was thinking that just because your car has a diagnostic computer, that automatically means you can just magically "plug it in" to your computer without an interface.  But he knows better now, and all is well.

That's a very cool video. Where was the carpool lane at? I know they're up in Seattle, but I didn't know there were any this side of Tacoma anymore. I did recognize the Tuttle river bridge which made me check your location.

I did like the semi at about 3:10 that made 3 lane changes as he wove his way through traffic, on the ice.
