Is it GAUGES or GAGES???
Not that I stay awake at night thinking of this but did GM make a consistant error when they spelled GAGES on the Instument cluster? I had always thought it was spelled gauges. I also checked a new 08 ZO6 and its spelled the same way on that cluster too.

per Merriam-webster
gauge - an instrument for or a means of measuring or testing: as a: an instrument for measuring a dimension or for testing mechanical accuracy b: an instrument with a graduated scale or dialect for measuring or indicating quantity.
variant: gage
So its almost like they are telling you what it is supposed to be but they also realize that some people like GM are misleading the public...
lol
