Has anyone ever had their speedometer stop working?
Happened to my '94 Saturn about four years ago. If the problem is at the sender end the fix can be fairly quick and easy and cheap. If the problem is at the display end, like mine was, they generally have to replace the whole instrument cluster. It's not hard to do, probably no more than a couple hours' labor, the difficulty is finding the parts.
Wow, I can't believe I got good 401k news today... like mine rebounded about 1/3 of the ground it previously lost in this latest quarter. Did we have a big stock market recovery and no news outlets covered it?
Ours regained a third, too.
Huh. We're showing gains for the year. That's new.
The markets went up a little today, but nothing crazy, as far as I know.
ION, aw -- remember that show Buffy?? [link]
In about 25 hours, my plane will be taking off for Kathmandu. Pray I don't kill my parents during 2 weeks together. I've been slowly mellowing, but 2 weeks.
It's going to be amazing, sarameg. Just remember to go off on your own once in a while.
Basically, the market went up about 35% from mid-March to mid-June and no one reported it. It's gone down a bit this quarter (since June 30) though.
The speedometer on my Honda will stop working sometimes. It's annoying, but since it works most of the time I haven't worked up the enthusiasm to try to fix it.
Car GPSs are really cheap these days, and I think they all can show your speed. I think there's more of a lag, as GPS maybe shows your average speed over a few seconds? but that might be a cheaper substitute to repairing the speedometer.
sara, you will have a wonderful time! I can't wait to see your pictures.
I went to the Dentist for the first time in 6 years. It was a big giant mistake. I actually cried. Keep in mind, I went through a horrible preterm labor that had me screaming for meds and I never cried, or at least not from pain. But getting my teeth cleaned (and only half of them at that!) today and I was (1) in tears (2) contemplating biting the dental hygienist (3) literally sweating rivers down my legs and back (4) trying to crawl backwards out of the chair.
HATE DENTIST VISITS.
