Ive seen some in person, and its nothing I personally would want in my car. Theyre just kinda ugly, and hard to see most of the time. Gauges are just as easy to use .

I don't drive fast, I fly low. ZOOM ZOOM

haha, tell that to a cop next time you get pulled over for speeding. The HUDs that came out on that Seville or Deville or what ever, cost about $2000. I don't know how easy it would be to integrate that into another vehicle.

I would think the RX-7's windsheild would be to small for that... it would block too much vision...

How bout putting 2G into a TII swap, or a full engine treatment. Maybe you could get an eccentric shaft custom fabricated out of titanum that can handle RPMs up to 15 000 rpm instead getting a retarded H U D.

Translation:

He could possibly save up his money to transplant a Turbo II's engine into his car or he could spend that money on a Titanium Eccentric shaft.
