        I see these posts about right and left referring to the temperature
        gauge in someones vanagon and always wonder about what's wrong with
        my tempgauge that's in the lower left quadrant of the tachometer.
        The "cold" end of my gauge is definitely to the "right" (counter-
        clockwise) of the "hot" end which is to the "left"...

        I'm always left wondering just where the needle might be...for
        example is the "far right mark" the HOT mark or the mark toward
        hot beyonf the LED?

        Perhaps I'm directionally challenged...but wouldn't it just be simpler
        to refer to the HOT end or the COLD end of the gauge...as in the
        above sentence:

        "...temp gage[sic] reading about 1/4 inch from the HOT mark"

        Or is everyone referring to clockwise as right and counterclockwise

        as left?
