Seeing as how a picture's worth a thousand words, 4,111 words follow.
Before:
New instrument panel:
Tach on the left, speed on the right, temp and fuel below. Yes, the car had less than 60 miles on it, total, at that point. The red thing in the VW logo on the steering wheel is the reflection of my shirt. Shiny...
New console:
AM/FM/CD/Satellite/MP3 on top; climate control, including A/C and heated seats in the middle; six-speed manual shifter (also shiny!) on the bottom. Also visible in the corner: leather seats. Not pictured: moonroof.
Does 80 in 6th gear without even breaking a sweat. I foresee a lot of taxes with this car if I'm not careful.
