Larry,
What we really need is an electronic "Fox Finder" to alert us to a comely
attraction. Of course calibration to meet exacting standards is a
necessity.
My air-fuel ratio meter is handy, colorful, and also comes in a round faced
instrument.
A radar detector screen, behind black glass, would be a useful sneak.
How about a road ice detector? Wouldn't work here in Southern California,
but there may be other places {9->. Actually I have a VDO outside
temperature gauge that senses road temp in my custom made car. Usually is
stuck somewhere around 105 F.
A boost gauge would be nice, even if just for looks. Could use the vacuum
end and let the other end be for show.
How about a cheap plastic disk, with a chrome rings and that butt ugly
Rootes Dog(?). I understand that might be popular.
Any other brilliant uses for an empty hole begging to be filled?
