CarChip
Mmmm, stats for you car: Davis manufactures the CarChip, which is a small device that plugs into your car’s diagnostic connector and gathers all sorts of fun data as you drive. When you’re finished driving, disconnect the CarChip from your car, and connect it to your PC to download the collected data.
