who gives a flying rats butt about what the temp is outside....you were just outside before you got in your car....you should already know if its hot, or cold, or just fine.....jeeeeeeeeez. And as for the INSIDE temp...well geeeeez again, you are sitting right there....you should know if you are comfortable or not....if not....ADJUST THE FRICKIN TEMP CONTROL! I just don't get it. Same thing goes for the compass.....I guess it could come in handy if you were traveling in an area that you were unfamiliar with and had to get directions....and they gave you directions with N,S,E, and W in them....but still.....oh well...to each their own.
