Other Temp Gages...?

Okay, I was wondering about a few things, actually. I know my car has an oil cooler. For a daily driver, would having an oil temp gage and even a transmission temp gage be needed? I'm flirting with the idea right now, wanted some input, slap in the face, reality check, what does it look like installed and such.

a tranny temp gauge might be a good idea. personally i think an oil temp gauge is a little overboard on a daily driver. i mean the overall temperature is what you want to look at so that is why theres a water temp gauge. that lets you know how how the motor is getting.

Oh, okay, (slaps forehead) I get it. I suppose that a trans cooler would be a good thing to do, just so it ran cooler, but I don't run my car very hard at all, save for a few "hurry up and get to sixty-five from a stop" times.

a trans cooler is never a bad idea, since heat kills auto transmissions
