And I don't think I have ever had a car which didn't have a clock in the central console or above the rear view mirror.
In my Scooby it's all of 2 centimetres above the empeg, so I'm quite happy with removing all time references on the empeg completely.

Well thats a pretty silly supposition IMHO. Not all cars have clocks outside of their factory head units, so when you replace the head unit, you remove the clock. And in fact, most factory head units have the clock ALWAYS on in some fashion.

Oh, and a watch, and a mobile phone with a clock on screen as well. And big clocks on all the roads into major cities. Arrggh! There's no need for all this. I think the world's got too hung up on accurate time. I'm going the opposite way - I got rid of my digital watch at Christmas and now I'm learning how to read hands again

I bet you think fire and the wheel are overrated as well, huh? :-P
