[s-cars] Stop the comedy! Real issues to solve!

[Eric Phillips]

That's an idea.  If I can, I would prefer to save that option if I
can't find another pass-through.  I am going to save that for my
perma-install of my Ross-Tech dongle.  I have an idea that I want to
pass by those guys, and see what they think...

In any case, another reason I want the pass through is so that I can
pass wiring for a fuel pressure sender, oil pressure sender, EGT
sender and four other wires that will have no other purpose other than
to be there if I need them.  :)
