Aint that the truth! My speedo reads way too fast so there'd be a greater chance of being booked for speeding if I used the GPS.
On another note, where is Papanick located?

If you don't have time to do it right the 1st time, how do you have time to do it the 2nd time?

Ones forward and ones reverse...come on guys, you know this.
It's just like the original mirrors were black and white, cus color mirrors did not come out until the early/mid 50's...right?

Maybe we should get together. Mine reads slow. Then we could average our speeds and be good.

IF the 2 speedos don't agree, take an average of the TWO.
Someone asked 3 Cowboys, "Whut time is it"---They produced 3 pocket watches, each with different times & all four "AGREED" on the CORRECT TIME!---LOL (IDIOTS!)
Awhile back, The GRENNICH Clock in the UK, had it's annual correction, of 3 SECONDS! NO wonder I'm HUNGRY, already!

One off of the right wheel and one off of the left.
That make sense when you think about it. One side of the car has to go faster than the other in a turn because it has farther to go. So the side on the outside of a turn has to go faster than the side on the inside of the turn in order to keep up and be aligned when the car goes straight again...

The speedo didn't work on my first Model A, I figgered out that 10 Amps equaled 43 MPH.
