What is sad is SOMEBODY will buy it!

I was searching for stuff on e-bay and saw MANY people CONSTANTLY selling a box with a resistor in it for your IAT sensor for 20-40.00 each.

It just proves that there are idiots born everyday.

Just look at this BS. There are literally 40+ auctions like them just for camaro's.

I was talking about the resistors people are selling on e-bay, anybody that would buy them for 20.00 - 40.00 ea. would have to be an idiot, but the sad thing is there are many based on these people's feedback. The motor you mentioned just above is just typical of what I see on e-bay. Mainly people preying on "aptitude challenged" individuals.
