Heheh, I had that PE digital dash in my pick-up when I was in high
school too. Other than the functionality, it looked pretty cool, and you
can bet, there were very few people that had one.

Trucks in high school were very useful. You couldn't very well carry 6
or 8 beer kegs to a pasture party in the trunk of a Camaro :) Also, I
lived in a rural area so the truck also was used for hauling feed and
hay, water, horses, various trailers, etc
