A little thing I do from time to time with my fiancee's camera. When I go to new places and try a new drink, I take a picture of this cow for laughs and what not. Enjoy.

I really hope you weren't actually doing 80mph while doing that.  |

Man, that is not at all what I had pictured when I clicked on this topic. 
You need a less base-model cluster in there, dude.  |

Sorry to disappoint on both of those... 
A new cluster will come later, money goes into engine and drivetrain first. But I don't know...that cluster has kind of grown on me. |

| Wait til you're heading cross country on a crew cruise with that speedo pegged the whole way. You won't have a clue how fast you're actually going. |

I remember one cruise home from Klamath Falls with about 6 F-Bodies nose to tail doing 70+ most of the way
I have a couple of 115mph speedo heads lying around. I even have at least one complete cluster, one I think came from a V6 car (higher red line and 80psi oil gauge).

| I believe I was passing holiday traffic at well over a hundred on that cruise. The great canadian rally was even worse. |

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that your car has things like a roof and seatbelts that actually do stuff instead of just looking cool and racecar-ey.
So... yeah!  |

To think I would stir up this kind of post...
How much would the cluster be? Would be VERY nice to have the rpm gauge. |

I like the white on black gauges...but having no rpm gauge in a manual? Not that I really need it, but it's nice to know sometimes...
That and the fuel gauge, yeah a bit in-your-face.
If no one has noticed yet, the key is in the OFF position, just so no legal issues arise... |
