There's plenty of ways around that. You could run a windows 8 with what is called a hyper-v client and create a windows virtual machine. Not 100% sure if it supports windows 95 but I have two computer at work with a very similar setup just vista as the virtual machine. And for the same reason you say to address compability issues.

I think they tried converting it to a newer operating system but were having so many troubles they decided it wasn't worth the trouble for 8 intruments so they went with the motto "If it works why change it"


And thanks..I'm trying to figure out how to make a side by side pic cause I took the exact same pic when I first got the car and it would be pretty cool to put them up against each other but since I am computer illiterate I can't do it haha (but if someone wants to pm me some instructions I'm all for it lmfao)

Not gonna lie here but the simplest way might be through paint you just need to put both photos in there and arrange them. If you can get it upload both photos here on the page and I will do it for you. Should take like 5 seconds tomorrow Morning since I already turned off my computer

Nice that's exactly what I would have done. What program did you use? But a nice transformation. It's cool to see a picture stock to what our cars have become.
