Andrew, As far as I know, VIN 10115 had the digital dash removed. I think it was recently up on ebay if it is not still there. I was emailed by several people in different countries regarding this unit and the questions they had about it's installation and operation. Ben Boatright had installed it himself and Louie inherited it with his car. VIN 16816 is my car and I've had it in there for two years now with no problems and I would never go back to the analog gauges. I always know my exact speed because the number is there. I don't have to guess within 5 MPH. Just a quick glance at the gauge panel is all it takes, until I install the prototype HUD. As far as trends, that's a personal opinion. I watch my temperature gauge more often in the 115+ degree summers and know exactly what I run at. Instead of thinking I know where a needle is pointing I can tell you what degree Farenheight my car runs at, when the fans (should and do) come on, when they cycle off, and even have it set to blink when I feel it's getting dangerous and a possible overheat situation could occur. Again, you cannot do that with analog gauges. How can you check your analog gauges without looking away from the road? You said, "People prefer to be able to tell things like engine speed and vehicle speed to a first approximation without having to look away from the road. Digital gauges make this pretty difficult." The HUD is the only way I know of that allows you to keep your eye on the road, and every automotive HUD I know of out there displays digital speed, not an analog needle on a numerical background. Why not take out a DeLorean with a digital gauge package and try it for yourself before putting them down with inaccurate comments? I read your post a few times wondering where you got your information before I realized it was just an opinion-and an unfounded one at that since you've not driven my car. If you're going to Pigeon Forge or you are in AZ anytime before then, look me up. We'll go for a drive and then you can truly decide which you like better. I agree, digital is not the way to go for everyone, but it's personal preference that counts. Matthew VIN 16816
