Hah and I thought I was old...

Yeah I get that it's a useful tool. I suppose my surprise was in needing one on a car with 20k miles. I do still have wrenches, jackstands, a jack and an airtank somewhere in my garage. Maybe this time around I can have the kids be my labor.

I bought a standalone reader for $16 off amazon, that one click thing helps the impulse buys for sure! I know you all are eagerly awaiting my report of the codes but will have to wait another day.
