Maybe he forgot to carry his trusty SAK   :rofl:

These new cars are all computerized, so it was probably a faulty sensor or something that couldn't be fixed with a paper clip, wad of gum and duct tape!

This thread got me thinking and I did a bit of research. With a bluetooth OBDII transceiver and an Android app I'd be able to diagnose car trouble with my smartphone 8)

I'd still need a multitool, of course, to then actually fix it :D
