Default Heads Up Display...

Funny story...

My GF and I were in the Z and I was telling her about the Heads Up Display and she was very interested and wanted to see it. So I stopped the car and she took her seatbelt off and leaned over to see it. She thought it was very cool and said "It's too bad it didn't come with a Heads Down Display." Then I said "What's that?" (playing dumb). And sure enough, she proceeded to show me.

God Bless Corvettes and Texas girls!

I don't understand? Is there such a thing as heads down display? How would you see it? Where would it be located? What would it tell you? I guess I will have to ask Santa, The Easter Bunny or Cupid.


Thank, you

It's more of a hybrid- one second it's a Heads Up Display, the next second it's a Heads Down Display, and that repeats until your "head" gasket blows!
