My non-GL '90 came with a big analog clock. A running clock like that
is actually a PROBLEM for a dope like me. Say it's five after 8, and I
glance down at the temp gauge... HOLY SMOKES I'M OVERHEAT... no,
that's just the minute hand over the temp scale. Repeat fifty times
until you put in a tach equiped instrument cluster in self defense.

I hear ya, man! The only clock in my non-GL is the digital one on the
dash, and I'm proud to say that it's never right because I disconnect
the battery to work on SOMETHING at least twice a week!
