User:Average/Total Information Awareness

There are loads of things a top-notch driver would want to be aware of while driving or when getting into the vehicle to start it. Things like:

When starting:

• air filter quality
• fuel levels
• battery charged
• oil level
• tread quality and tire pressurization
• chassis tightness (all the bolts tight and shocks/springs tuned?)

When driving:

• rpm (tachometer)
• fuel flow
• oil flow and quality
• vacuum pressure after air filter
• engine temperature, perhaps at various points on engine
• torque
• engine combustion quality (acoustics generally works)
• engine robustness (exhaust quality works)
• wheel rotations

so you have to have instruments -- instruments that give you read-outs without clutter or spurious noise.

As a driver attunes to the machine, each of these measurements trains him/her to their relationship of their machine to the world. They become one with the machine.
