Another question for automotive experts
This is the dashboard of my new car.

Which one of these gauges is the damn speedometer?

4. Yeah, it does, and the damned controls are on the inside
If you can't figure that out you oughta give up your submarine driver's license. They're a bitch to read from the outside.

6. They simplified things on the 1924 Hupmobile.
None of that clutter that you have to deal with.

10. Based on the Mk 3 Stanley Steamer layout I see.
If it's like the Steamer, you don't need a speedometer. It's physically impossible for you to break the speed limit...any speed limit.

12. 11 is a reference to loudness not speed
And my favorite line from that movie is the one about Paul Wellstone's alma mater:

What do you expect?

It's just a cracker university
