Default gonna name my car Christine

Drove my new to me car back from FL on Monday. Noticed the odometer was not working. Pretty long odds it stopped working where the trip meter indicates. Its either possessed or there was human help in making the odometer stop where it did. I believe the trip meter can be set to zero but not to a specific number.

Keep driving in reverse until you have a 356.

You are welcome.

I resemble that remark.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I remember hitting 100,000 miles in my Targa on the front straight at the Glen many years ago before I got the 914/6.

This car will never hit 100k miles at this rate. The odometer apparently "broke" exactly when the trip meter hit 911.0. I have some doubts.
