Why do people do this?
MORE does not always equal BETTER. I was at Wally-World this afternoon and spotted this little gem. Apparently he really wants to be a pirate someday and if you look closely in the second picture you'll see that he's got a few extra gauges installed - I stopped counting at 12. Enjoy!

Maybe he owns a Pep Boys franchise. If not, Prozac might quell that OCD.

There are these newfangled things called smart phones. Shockingly, some of them have built in cameras.
You'd be surprised to watch how quickly the whippersnappers these days can shoot a photo.

I'm sure it is his baby, and you see alot of the pirate thing around here for some reason. I was more bewildered by the number of gauges he was running. I'm still trying to figure out 12 things to measure on a gas-powered Chevy truck. To each his own i guess - who am I to judge?

Those may not be gauges but beer can holders and ash trays.

To individualize something. Make it your own.
The Japanese manufacturers even started selling ricer kits because the market want was so high. |

The pirate thing is for the website Pirate4x4.com which is one of the largest off road sites on the web.
