TURNING OFF GAUGE DISPLAY

Being able to turn off the odometer display.
Such a simple idea, yet so awesome.

Sorry, but why would you want to? Yes, I've kinda do when I sort through my choices. Never think of leaving it off. I can't drive w/o looking @ my odometer & MPG, though. Just why I can't 'get' this. It's cool there's that option.

Why is it genius, though?

If it 'just is' to you guys, I get it! Just I can't wrap my head around what this does for anything. Sorry for my stupid-ness!!!!!

I say because it makes it look "clean" if you know what I mean?

Yeah I LOVE how it turns off. Looks nice and black and clean, I dunno how better to explain it. I'd also call it genius.

Try a heads up display. I had them on two Grand Prix GTX's. At night you could turn all the instrument lights off and everything was displayed on the HUD, appearing to be suspended in the air about 4" above and in front of the hood line. If you had a problem, that gauge would light up in Red. I became very spolied after using the HUD and really wish Ford had one on the Mustang. You never take you eyes off the road, for anything. Even the NAV was in the HUD.

I do like the option; when I set the MyColor to Red/Red, the bright turquoise display looks jarringly awful. Turning it off makes the dash look much cleaner. If that display changed with the MyColor, that would be cool too (not to mention the center stack..).

Come on board, you know you want too. I'll add another brilliant thing. The sloped trunk, so nothing in the trunk get too far out of reach. BRILLIANT

Mines off all the time too. I just wait until "50 miles to empty" or the info that my oil is due for a change. I don't need to know how far I've gone and how many MPG's it took me - so what I say
