Not so much "inaccurate" as "severely damped" -- they are not analog real-time gauges, but are under control of the ECU. For example, my wife's Geo Metro has a temp gauge that scarcely ever moves off

Not really... Metros are pretty common (later on they were even badged as Chevies). But a lot of the folks in the AAS are also members of the Microcar & Minicar Club, which we participated in when my

True. I've seen a photo of where one exited through the fender. But the mid-generation cars had plastic engine-driven fans, so they're safe. Looking at my three-bladed "propellor", it's hard to imagi
