i watched my car's kilometer counter flipping to 300000 today. it looks a lot to me, well the car is fifteen years old, but i was told an eighty years old lady was selling it. was she really driving those 63 cm every second her whole retirement with hardly any sleep? so when the line of zeros appeared, i pressed a short distance meter to zero it, too. i knew that this one works quite well as i used it to find out i do approx. 650 kms on each petrol tank (since danish roads are flat and stright allowing almost always constant speed 90 kmph at fifth gear).

it made me laugh when i came back from work and saw the difference: the small one showed realistic thirty something, but the big one 300060. i hope it has been like this since the car was new!

well it was a small patch on finding out that i have to pay annual insurance bill which costs almost twice the price of the car. ugh.
