    Just wanted to give you an update. I did go cruising yesterday and brought the gps with me and I can say my speedometer is really quite accurate! But I gave the rpm's wrong as it's really at 2400 rpm. Analog gauges aren't very specific are they??

    almost forgot to add, I had my first OH S _ _ T! while cruising yesterday too. Some old guy shoots out of his driveway and turns into my lane in front of me. Good thing my brakes work well!!!
