I'd also recommend sears/craftsman for multimeters; I think they're a better deal than the radioshack ones, and I never really trusted rat shack products anyway...
I've been using the model #82139 for years, and it does everything you'd ever need in the carPC world, and it's only $30. Even has the protective rubber boot.
