Default Engine Hours Gauge?

So me and another one of my fbody owning friends thought that an Engine Hours Gauge would be cool to have. Anyone have this?

A meter for hours on this forum would probably be as useful.

figure the avg speed of a car is usually about 38mph, so divide whatever crazy amount of miles are on your beat up f body, there you go a rough average.

not like it matters anyways as you probably will wreck your car in a few months.

I'd like to know how many 4th gens have been wrecked over the years. I've seen more in yards than on the road.

I wouldn't just go out of my way for it. It's just me and my bud who thought about this spend a lot of time in our cars and its really more to see how much time WE put in the cars. Not really focused on total hours. And RamAir95TA, don't knock the titanium headers. You know that would be bad ***. I like to do **** big. And titanium headers is big. Haha. Anyways, I was gonna rape your world LT1slowz28 but then I saw your apology. Haha. My car shan't be wrecked unless one of my fellow drivers decide to wreck me. And its definitely no beat up fbody. Not immaculate but better than 70% of fbodies I see nowadays. Slow your role.

It would be badass on a supercar of some sort, but not on a 16 year old derelict Camaro.

I wouldnt add an unecessary gauge like that. It would just add extra weight to the car.

Add extra weight. The ones we use for quads are the size of a watch if not smaller.

I was personally thinking about adding a rear end gear oil gauge just to make sure everything is going alright :/ and whole the hell would buy titanium headers if they made such a thing y would people spend that much money on them that money could be spent somewhere else

Because titanium headers would weigh half what your average header weighs. But the rear end oil gauge is a pretty cool idea. I'm sorry I throw these odd ideas out here all the time. But I think a little different than most people. I tend to over analyze and create things in my mind that seem amazing until I post them here. You guys bring me back to the real world, be it through insults or well thought out arguments. Haha.
