Does this make me a bad person?

I like to get in the Z, start her up, and watch the gauges peg (or clear, i don't know what the PC term is). Then I call over friends,

Default Does this make me a bad person?
I like to get in the Z, start her up, and watch the gauges peg (or clear, i don't know what the PC term is). Then I call over friends, passersby, random people, and do it again. It's mesmerizing! Is anyone else obsessed with this feature? Is there a way to get even more gauges in the car to do this? Or should I be seeking a program to help me with this problem?

Tuners like UpRev have full control over the gauge cluster.. and can do wacky stuff like use the TPMS light for shift lights, and basically anything you wanted to do with it..

I believe they were toying with the idea of a completely gauge driven method of installing the tune, no laptop needed, by hitting different pedals and getting responses from needles and things. LOL!
