"Intelligent" cars suck
A couple of months ago we bought a "new" car. Nothing overly fancy, a 2000 model Peugeot 406 station wagon. On Friday a lamp started glowing in the dashboard, and a quick look in the instruction manual told me that this is the self diagnosis lamp - "contact sertified Peugeot repair shop"
So I made my self an apointment and was there today. After hooking up to the cars computer and doing whatever they do I got the message that nothing is wrong with the car. There was a list of 5 passing faults in the computer, like that there might have been some low voltage on the battery at some point. None of the faults was still present. But the list still triggered the lamp to glow.
So basically I had to pay about $130,- for them to delete the 5 faults from the car computer. Duh...

OMG! You've running *what* version of CCS (Car Control System)? You should upgrade to this free open source version. Fair enough you need to configure a few things, like polarity on these spark plugs, and possibly write a driver for these new wheels you've got installed, but after that, everything will work seamlessly*.
* NOT!!!
I used to have a car which I could tune and monitor using a Palm which was really quite awesome. For instance, they actually save you money in the long run. Instead of taking your car in because "its using a lot of gas and not running well", you take it in because the light came on.. when the pull the code they find out one of the oxygen sensors went bad and just replace that instead of having to do a complete tune-up and hope that it fixes the problem.
Even just the little things are cool, like just by watching knock counts you can figure out the proper fuel maps for your car what brand of gasoline seems to be the best for your car, etc.

In Ukraine I paid 10$ to get my car (Daewoo Lanos) tested with car computer and actually my problem was identified successfully.
