I live in part of central Oklahoma where one can go 3 miles south to I 40, and it is flat and straight for 1,000 miles to the west. Well, some people from the Washington D.C. area visited. There, everything is tight, compact, crowded, and with the old 55 mph speed limit still intact in many areas (does that say something about our government, or what?) In any event, I took one of these people down to I 40 in my S2k and pointed her west. Then, I pushed the button to change the digital speedometer from mph to kilometers! Well, we were heading west, and passing everything, and my guest asked "how fast are we going?" I said "150." He looked at the speedo, which confirmed my statement (really, we were only going 93 mph.)

A childish prank, with a predictable result. I got to see how well Lexol leather cleaner works in cleaning up a real mess in the passenger side seat!

Has anybody else ever done this prank?

Thanks,
Richard

 

I don't believe any of my friends would fall for it...

 

None of my friends from here in Oklahoma woud fall for it. only those from those parts of the country (and they exist, believe me) where it is difficult to find a place to get it up to 60 mph.

Thanks,
Richard

 

On the way back from an autocross ina Hawthorne, NV my codriver fell asleep. I changed it from mph to kph and woke him up. I said "Hey check it out we're crusing at 130+" He looked at the speedo then turned his head and looked behind us at our friend in an mr-s spyder. He then replied "no we're not the spyder is still right behind us"
