If the cars did not have digital readout, the needle would work fine for most people. But because it has the digital thing constantly flashing different numbers, your eye naturally goes to that.

If I knew how to program this sort of thing, I would make a box that interfaced with the LCD to monitor other things, perhaps even Valentine 1 alerts.
