90 or 95?

When the entire town has a 25mph speed limit, the car is automatic so full acceleration is always at the tip of the foot (maybe it's time to install a block behind the accelerator) but the speedometer barely moves when I go 25mph or under, that is irritating.

One thing that I'd like to see on modern cars with their fancy smancy LCD (or OLED, NanoLED, etc.) displays would be customizable gauges. Just let us adjust them how we see fit. I never hit anything over 65mph, so let me set max to 65mph if I want. With the way technology is today it should be possible. But no! We can't have people customizing their cars these days now can we!

It used to be possible to customize your gauges without making it look like a frankenstein hack job.
