I've got a Dog-o-meter(tm). It's slightly unstable around corners and when stopping suddenly. Likes the windows down. Drools at restaurant windows.

Well, that is where the cat would be, sitting right on top of what you want to read .

Jooseppi,

Dad used to say that quality of life is inversely related to the number of internal combustion engines that you have to keep running.

He may have been right.

Did that break your adora-meter when you were calibrating it?

Oh this must be why, when I leave my headlights on I hear a meow instead of the annoying buzz when I open the door

Is that pronounced "CA tom eh ter"? Or "cat OH meter"? Either way, I'm allergic so I'll skip having one.

Tastes like chicken......

Does it scratch you when you make a wrong turn?

That cat is "Liz's" evil twin ... my parents' cat. However, Liz is way overweight and would not fit where the instrument cluster goes.

Does that unit have datalogging? I see it has a paws button.

Maybe it's parallax but it appears to be off by a whisker.

Do you get additional visual indicators when the car is purring along?

I know it's good in low light, but does it seem strange that the instrumentation can see in near dark?

Those old catometers do have a major downfall though. They throw a hissy fit when you try to install more than one. The younger versions tend to play nice together.
