   Newer vehicles nowadays are so quiet it's hard to tell how fast they're   
   revving and with an automatic what gear it's in without one...

   A tach may not matter now, the paper factory shop manuals for my older   
   vehicles explains in detail how the transmissions work (or not) but that   
   info isn't available to consumers any more.   
      
   Knowing my car's electricals saved me from a messy industrial lawsuit   
   because I used a circuit from it that the suit claimed was a pirated trade   
   secret in another industry.
