It's a matter of rather personal preference, but most of the gauges don't 
really tell you much that is useful, plus few of them are realistically 
calibrated.

The tachs are probably the exception. They are nice and they really do fit 
right in the cars, but they are EXPENSIVE. I don't think they would nearly as 
much, except that Neil keeps driving the price up by buying all of them that 
appear on the market.   ;-)

I'll have to admit that a tack is the ONE gauge I wish I had, and still, I have 
to admit that it's only for bragging rights.

Keith drove us nuts 2 years ago, because sometimes his driving to Parma seemed 
to consist entirely of a "heads down" instruments approach, while the rest of 
us were in totally heads-up mode. The up side was that this gave us something 
to tease him about.
