I decided it was a nice sunny day to take the truck out for a spin. I was pretty sure the speedo gear wasn't right, but now its confirmed.

So the local cops set up one of the big "Your speed is XYZ" trailers by the local high school, my speedo says 45 and their machine says 31. I'm guessing theirs is more accurate.

And it also means I wasn't doing 70 in a 40 earlier

I like sunny days
