Heck, people can walk into Radioshack, buy one for an hour, get the readings and return it. And sure it's not ideal, but it's at least somewhat objective. I'll give people more credit on this website...I think many folks go out of their way to help others with minimal benefit for themselves (maybe some rep points )
Sure. From the popularity of your thread, we could see how well that turned out.

You do realize that there are gatherings more commonly known as "meets", right? These can range from somewhat impromptu meet-ups on a local level in a parking lot somewhere (parking lot pimpin, loitering...call it what you will), drawing in a little more than a handful of cars on a weekly or bi-monthly basis, or every so often a regional meet which can draw upwards of 50 cars depending on location. It is more likely that people who attend these "meets" would be considered enthusiasts as word is spread through forums. Therefore, you can count on over 75% of these cars being modified in some way, providing you with all the combinations of modifications you can think of for you see, hear, and ride in.

Check it out sometime.
