I don't think you need to look at the clock while driving, knowing how late you're running won't get you there any faster. Generally people make the decision about where to go and when to leave before they get in the car, making the clock a bit superfluous.

I've changed my mind about the analogue ambient temp gauge though, not because it's useful, but because it looks cool. I like the fact that the needle goes well below freezing, and having it would be a nice reminder of where my car comes from. The needle only goes up to 40 degrees C though, which would max out on a road trip across Australia in summer. I'd definately install one if I could.

The starter is the priority when my next cheque comes this week, and next on the list are front rotors, shocks and fuel pumps. Only when I've found and all the noises and sags in my suspension, will I start installing extra gauges.
