    i've also seen a similar setup that uses a palmpilot. i would go that route...palm is easier to keep/carry in the car than a laptop and you can get a mount to clip it to the dash and be able to view easier while driving.

    what year is your car? if its 96+ you can use the scantool.net kit and monitor the data list via your obd2 port
