Bit too pricey for this project IMO. The easier route would be pulling
the data from the OBD plug, though that would only work on newer
vehicles. It would probably require a box of some sort to translate to
RS-232, something like:

One problem with doing this is that I'd really hate if the remaining
supply of Newtons was bought up by auto mechanics, lots of cheap
laptops that could do the job.
