Amen and amen; her Ladyship's panzer (aka the A4) has a temp gauge; while it warms up quickly, we have an expressway about two miles from the house that often requires an aggressive merge...hate to light the afterburners unless things are warmed up a little.
Mazda, we have the xenon lights; they were on my short list of 'gotta haves'. Been fooling with E-code lights for years (there's a 100w set in my 10 year old Wrangler), and these are even better. Both have the sharp cutoff which is a big help in sloppy weather.
zz, I'm sure you're right about the vacuum gauge...I seem to recall one in a Bimmer I test hopped years ago, long before there was any electronic calculation of mileage.
I'm between the WeatherTech and OEM; not much price difference. Are the WeatherTechs rubber?
Thnx,
