Okay, I'm surprised this hasn't been touched on yet, so I'm just throwing it out there...

Three words... Heads.. up... display.

I'm no whiz with lenses, mirrors, and other optical thingies, but couldn't a VFD be turned into a jet-fighter style heads-up display with a little trickeration? I'm not talking about something that shines right onto your field of view, but maybe something that shines song info and other goodies somewhere on your windshield that's out of the way (underneath/beside the rear view, maybe.) Seems that VFD's are pretty bright, and, at least for night time driving, this could actually be doable...

Not that having a VFD in with the gauges and such isn't a great idea, but it'd be even cooler (and, yes, geekier) to have a heads-up display. So, am I crazy here? Or would this actually be feasible?
