I know this is a small, very minor thing, but I really like the setup of the fuel gauge and temp gauge, and the font they use for them. They look more old school than anything.

In the old days, when gauges were all direct hardwired and/or cable operated, when you fired the engine up, the fuel gauge and temp gauge would sort of wiggle while the engine idled, and depending on the way the car was angled or how you took a corner, you'd actually see the fuel gauge dip up or down based on how the gas in the tank was swooshing (old fashioned floats that were just basically basic potentiometers were far less accurate than the computer that averages the fuel in todays cars, making the gauge move almost imperceptively)

Especially if it needed a tune up!
