Instrument Display - common for pixels to be missing due to bad electrical contacks. Look at clock and shift indicator. Nothing major, but if it bothers you the whole cluster will have to be replaced at @ $1000.
Not entirely accurate -- the cluster can be repaired for anywhere from $250 to $400. I know there's a service on Ebay that takes care of this problem. If you're a half way decent DIY'er you can even repair it yourself. Tons of info if/when you need to search for it.

Replace your dust filter (behind glove box) if you don't know how long it's been, if ever, replaced. A clogged filter will restrict the air flow and could overheat your blower regulator (big $$).

Good Luck!
