Can the Clock's Angle Change?

Although San Jose is not ready to deliver cars yet, I dropped by to check out my little smartie today. Even though some folks complain about the tomato soup red, I rather like it. In any case, I noticed that the tach/clock pods on my car aren't symmetrical. The clock is angled more towards the center. On the other cars, the both the clock and tach are angled properly. Can I twist the clock by myself? It doesn't have far to go, but it would bother me to look at it the way it is.

Yes

Yes and you can DIY although I'd be surprised if they delivered it to you in that condition.

And if you passenger wants to read the clock, they can turn it toward themselves. It swivels.

Both the tach and clock swivel, but I'm not sure they can be "re-angled." I am on my way for a test drive right now--I'll check it out

Oh, Fred, I had fun, fun, fun today. I really hated to push the suspension, moving in and out of traffic on the freeway, but I needed to get around the minivans, Buicks, and other length-challenged vehicles as I cruised along at 80 mph
