When you first start the car after a long stop, these series of lines are red. After a while, they turn white! I am pretty sure this means that the temperature is now normal!! I'm psyched... now I will know when the engine is warmed up and can safely start stepping on it!

So essentially the car can tell you about three temperature levels: cold, normal and too high. The letter would be conveyed using a warning light. Not like a dedicated temp gauge, but not too bad!
OMG! Great Find!! :rocks:
