And when you drive on LA freeways, it's not a bad idea to know instantly how fast you are going when that CHP jumps in your rear view mirror.

I just change the display for what I need it for at the moment.
When it's baking..."temp mode" or just push "climate" on your navi
when long travels..."miles left" and "mpg" (not the scrolling bar...yes, useless)
when in "S" mode, yes leave it in gears (especially when passing, I've downshifted too far a couple of times because I didn't know what gear I was in

i actually leave it in gear position since when i switch to manumatic, it won't tell me that i'm back into first until i shift back down myself which sucks... i used to leave it in outside temp, but in Climate section of the screen, it already tells me the outside temp so no need for two places telling me the outside temp

Ya me too!!! I bet you they'll add it for 2007 or somthing... maybe 2008 models. Its just an easy thing to add and i can believe they didnt add it. A lot of cars have it now. Honestly its really simple... prob takes like 1 line of code. the car already reads a digital speed into the ECU they just needed to out put it.

And a temp prob should not read wind temp. Wind chill is only for humans or living creatures... that can feel the difference. a temerature guage doesnt care what the wind chill is.
