Re: Stupid odometer question

Yep, remember what a big deal it was when you "rolled it over"?
Edit: BTW Forrest, what are the black markers around the bezel for?

My speedometer doesn’t match up with my actual speed so I used an app on my phone to figure out what my speedometer reading actually means and then put markers on it so that I can tell what speed I am actually going. I know that there’s a plastic gear in the transmission that you can change out but I am Awfully lazy.

I knew I couldn’t have driven 38,000 miles. I mostly drive a gas sipping Honda with ac to work.
