Took my Satellite out for a drive last weekend. Accelerated quickly pulling out of my neighborhood while making a left onto a 4-lane divided highway. Heard a clunk and looked down to see my Autometer water temp gauge laying on the console. It was still working, but had separated from the bezel and fallen out of the underdash cluster. Date on the gauge is '93 so it's been in the car since I got it back on the road after resto.
Surprised me that it broke like it did, but it is 30 yrs old and wasn't an expensive gauge - a new replacement is about $60 so I probably paid half that back in the day. Anyone else experience something like this?
