Default '07 Sensor Pod

Alrighty boys I'm looking for some input. Having a bone stock truck leaves some luxuries to be desired. So I figure I might as well use my $50k degree . I'm designing and prototyping a sensor pod utilizing the propeller stamp micro-controller.

So far I've got a temperature sensor up an running and printing out on an LCD. I'm going to use this to read outside temperatures. I thought about adding a humidity sensor, but that's where my brain kinda shuts off so I'm looking for other ideas on what might be useful to know.

I was thinking of using the existing oil temp sensor and running it to print out in numbers instead of a dial, also though of putting a rotation sensor on the wheel hub and getting a real accurate measurement of wheel speed. I'm just shooting in the dark for ways to use the propeller to it's full potential. Let me know what you think.
