Sometimes a gauge doesn't help. Way back when I was in high school,
a friend's parents bought a Mercedes 300D. This was when Mercedes
was really starting to make a push in the US in the mid 70s, and
was finally being seen here as a luxury car, rather than just a
weird car. Anyway, his dad took the car in for an oil change, and
noticed when he picked it up that the oil pressure gauge wasn't
working. So, grumbling about the expense of having to do this work
on a so-called "reliable" car, he had the same garage replace the
gauge. It still didn't work. Now he decided he was going bite the
bullet (this guy makes Jack Benny look like a spendthrift) and take
it to the dealership to have them put in a new gauge, complaining all
the time about the incompetence of his cheapo garage. Before he got
the car to the dealer, the engine seized.
