I just told my wife I want one of these for my birthday. It's a small device that gives real-time stats from my engine and it seems kind of like a video game too. It's primary design is apparently to help you change your own driving habits. Anybody have one? It seems pretty interesting.
Their website is PLX Kiwi - Save Gas, Improve MPG, Drive Green, Reduce CO2 (http://www.plxkiwi.com/index.html)

not worth $300
Well an precious iPhone sure isn't worth $300 (plus $75 a month for 2 years) either but that didn't stop 1 million people from buying them. :D

With the right marketing and advertising, this thing could make the founder a multimillionaire.

Or very poor. I can just see the idiots who try to sue the founder because they were watching the display instead of the road and end up rear ending someone. :rolleyes:

Agreed and good point~!
I like it! The only thing that I'd be worried about is how this device may distract the driver for an extended period of time as opposed to a cell-phone or GPS device.:)
