Default Digital speedo

I for some reason use the digital speedometer vs. the old fashioned. I was giving a friend a ride the other day (insert dirty joke here) and they asked why I didn't use the mpg or temp or some other display. I guess I've just gotten spoiled by the digital speedo (I really don't even like analog watches.) Am I the only one using the lazy *** crutch of digital? Who really rides around constantly wanting to see the temp?

I'm the exact same way, I always keep it on the speedometer, if it changes to the temperature (icy) I flip it right back to my speeed.

That gets me from time to time. I begin to wonder "Am I really only going 37 mph??". Then I realize that it switched over to the temp.

I always use the digital too. The dial speedo is a bit hard to see and read at a glance and the digital is right up at eye level.

I always leave it on digital speedo as well. It's a life saver when it comes to downshifting and rev matching.

I actually wanna see how much miles I got left before I have to go to the pump for gas. The digital spedos are for those who are nitpicky. If you follow your needles, there is very little difference between the analog and the digital speedo.

I stick my hand out the window, and calculate my speed by the force of air pushing against my hand.

I'm seeing a trend here...and I use the digital speedo pretty much exclusively.
