I'd prefer an Opel Senator.
Much rather the Studebaker Dictator.

Just saw my first Kia Soul, and I have to say, I quite like it. Its like a first gen xB that someone took a file to and rounded it a bit. Also saw a Ford Flex in white without the stupid tailgate chrome and it also looked really good.

Still, there's something to be said for the Nissan President.
I have completely forgotten how to drive a petrol car... I'm driving the wife's car while the insurance guy bickers with the body shop how much the rear fender will cost to respray (some ass rear ended me on Monday)...
I just drive like I normally do, shifting up at low rpms and expecting there to be power there all the time. Accelerating onto the highway, I remembered that a 1.6 16v engine needs REVS and lots of them to go anywhere...
still, having a rev counter would have helped...because now I just rev the nuts off it because it's fun. Sounds like it can go up to 9,000 though
^somehow I don't think that'll fit in this interior
* Universal OBDII multi-gauge displays over 100 parameters
* Connects to your vehicle?s diagnostic port
* Display 0 ? 60 mph and ?-mile times with up to five other parameters
* Records maximum values for speed, RPM and water temperature
* Accepts one additional sensor
* Backlit screen can be set to 16 million colors to match any interior
* Set visual and audible alerts for any value
* Built-in shift light capability
* Check and clear trouble codes
* Any parameter can be displayed on any screen, in any order, in any fashion!
I need a functioning tach in the miata. I've gone through a 2nd guage cluster now and still can't get the fucker to work properly.
If aftermarket gauges weren't so damn expensive I'd just build a custom cluster.
that IS a good idea Spectre, but somehow I don't think it really matters in a car like that... besides, my wife drives it most of the time, and no longer than 15 minutes or so (work/home)
I doubt 0-60 mph and 1/4mile times are really relevant in something resembling an egg, that weighs a lot, with "only" 110 hp
in my car on the other hand ...
(but then again, I don't want to be disappointed when I see in digital numbers how slow it really is )
It kind of puzzels me because it wasn?t actually that loud - just so you can hear it over the driving noise at 140 ... and I didn?t hear the SLR at all. I was kind of expecting to hear (or feel) it ... but nothing. My (actually not "mine"- Company Car) A4 must have quite good sound insulation when it comes to supercharged V8s a meter to the left ... but not so good to the cars own tire/wind-noise at autobahnspeed ...^holy Jebus if you can't hear an SLR at fullspeed over your car stereo, that thing must be LOUD!
