[DML] Re: Digital Dashboards

["Gerald Deutsch" <Jerry1@xxxx>]

If you want a digital dash, go get it. Don't let anyone tell you
differently. It's a matter of personal opinion, and I think that anyone who
puts you down for wanting one has a serious problem with freedom of choice.
Everyone here who has insulted this person, saying "why would you want
one... they serve no purpose..." should appologize to this person. Everyone
has a right to do whatever they want to their car... even if you or I don't
agree with it. That's what makes the world go around.

Personally, I think a digital dash is neat and would look great in the car.
Function vs looks? C'mon. Saying race cars have analog dashes because race
cars should have analog... Who here has a DeLorean that can win a race
against a Dodge omni turbo? Or any race for that matter? I think very few
could. The car wasn't designed to race. Let's appreciate it for what it is
and let people do what they want to it.

My last .02 ...since I spent the rest fixing up my DeLorean :oþ
