I wish I knew how to read this . . . rpm on the vertical axis. What is the horizontal axis? What do the brown and blue lines represent and plot on the graph? I see a knock sensor gauge on the left pegged to the far right hand red zone, but I do not know what any of this means.
Horizontal axis is just log run time. Brown is RPM and blue is knock. I put the cursor over the highest knock point so that's what shows on the gauges.
 
Fun with paint.

Need a bit of a paint refresh soon. Will probably stick with the black, but for fun, I tried some other colors on with AI:

The AI's didn't seem to do great at this, they messed it up quite a bit but not bad! I also tried different side stripe colors on but it messed that up really bad. The Land Rover Carpathian Gray is kinda cool! Here's what it looks like on a Land Rover:
The Lithium Gray is from a Ford F-150 and the Metallic Granite Crystal Gray is from a Dodge Challenger.

This is my favorite Boss color here. Ford Sterling Gray. There was only one made, it was a special edition made for some charity and ended up in South America:
2013 BOSS LS - Sterling Gray & Matte 1.jpg
Heins Motorsports Boss RS Custom (a SEMA car I think) was pretty cool.
2012 Steeda BOSS Custom - Gray & Black.jpg
I also like Chicane's purple Boss that was for sale here on TMO not long ago.
