(...) Well. That comes back to the question of "needing" a tachometer. I've noticed that like almost automatics have tachometers. Neither of the cars I've owned had/have a tach, and both had/do have a manually actuated gearbox. I think that's funny. (...) (21 years ago, 3-Nov-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
