Based out of Fort Wayne, Indiana, this blog is dedicated to expanding your knowledge of the automotive industry. From buying or selling a vehicle, to doing your own repairs, and learning about cutting edge technology of the future. I do not claim to have written everything on this blog. Some of the content belongs to others, but I try my best to give credit where it is due via linking to the original source, etc. Feel free to ask questions and leave feedback!

(I know I’m a bit late with the news, but after seeing the picture you’ll realize you didn’t miss much anyway.) It will no longer carry the Dodge badge which I see as a very smart move. It puts the Viper in a new class of sports car. Bumped it up to the next level so to speak. Because lets be honest, when you say sports car, I don’t go, “Oh yeah, you mean Ferrari, Lambo, Fisker, and Dodge.” I think I see good things in Chrysler’s future.

Their Acura NSX commercial blows their Honda CR-V commercial out of the water. Ferris Bueller should’ve driven a red NSX and that would’ve been the best commercial. I chose to show you the best commercial starring Jerry Seinfeld and another big name car fanatic that I won’t name as to not spoil the ending.

Droid users can pick up this bad boy for just $99 on most of your major online stores such as &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;amp;field-keywords=plx+&amp;amp;x=0&amp;amp;y=0" target="_blank"&gt;Amazon&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=plx+obd&amp;amp;_arm=1&amp;amp;_armi=Consumer+Electronics&amp;amp;_armm=94&amp;amp;_ruu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2FConsumer-Electronics-%2F293%2Fi.html%3F_nkw%3Dplx%2Bobd%26_arr%3D1&amp;amp;_rdc=1" target="_blank"&gt;eBay&lt;/a&gt;, and the &lt;a href="http://www.plxkiwi.com/" target="_blank"&gt;manufacturer&lt;/a&gt;. IPhone lovers, however, aren&amp;#8217;t so lucky. You&amp;#8217;re gonna have to fork over $139 and up to stay tech savvy. You can purchase these at all the same places. Once you&amp;#8217;ve got your new toy, you&amp;#8217;ll have to fork over some more cash for the App you&amp;#8217;ll have to purchase to actually use your scanner with your phone. The one I&amp;#8217;ve shown here runs $40 in the iPhone App Store. It&amp;#8217;s made by Devtoaster and it&amp;#8217;s called &lt;a href="http://www.devtoaster.com/products/rev/" target="_blank"&gt;Rev&lt;/a&gt;. There are a few others so be sure to do some researching before you decide.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have just purchased this recently and will be trying it out very soon. I&amp;#8217;ll be sure to give you guys the pros and cons because you auto know before you buy.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://youautoknow.net/post/16821878779</link><guid>http://youautoknow.net/post/16821878779</guid><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2012 11:23:18 -0500</pubDate><category>smartphone</category><category>iPhone</category><category>Droid</category><category>PLX</category><category>OBD II</category><category>Scanner</category><category>Cars</category><category>Tech</category><category>Auto</category><category>Rev</category><category>DevToaster</category><category>tooltechtuesday</category><category>Amazon</category><category>eBay</category><category>iPhone App Store</category></item></channel></rss>
