"REAL" Scantool

I'd be willing to bet the prices will come down, seems like eventually that happens to everything. It wasn't that long ago that even basic scan tools were pretty expensive now you can pick them up for $10-15.
I'm really surprised that manufacturers are still using OBD2, that came out in like... 95 or something. Can you imagine if we were all still using Windows 95? Technology related stuff just doesn't hang on that long typically.
I'm not sure what cars he is talking about that basic scan tools won't function on, my truck is 2018 and the cheapo scanners work on it.
That being said I can't imagine ever forking over $1k for a scanner. I like to do my own work on my cars but no way I would get my money back on that.
