I second that question.  After scratching my head a couple of days after
reading the initial post, I called my brother who happens to be into high
performance Chevies and such, posed the same inquiry from the original post
to him.  He responded "What in the world......?"

Don't we have enough "worry gauges" in our beloved machines already?

Kinda reminds me of an acquaintance of mine with the 68 VW CrewCab with 4
Pyrometer Gauges (one on each exhaust port pipe), Oil Temp Gauge, 4 Cylinder
Temp Gauges (1 for each dedicated cylinder/temp sensor), Tachometer, Oil
Pressure Gauge, Fuel Pressure Gauge, Ammeter, Voltmeter, Altitude Gauge,
Outside Temp Gauge, GPS, etc..  Front Cab looks like an aircraft cockpit.
And all he's running is a 1776 w/Dual Webers.  Oh yeah, it's a daily driver
2 miles to work and back everyday, takes it on a long trip once a year.
