Do you guys ever wonder why we're drawn to numbers like that??

you know, you wake up for work and its 5:55

or you're out and about and see the clock and it reads 4:44, 3:33, or 2:22??

you see phone numbers like 1800-777-3443

or its 10:10 (computer codes) or 11:11??
that ever happen to you guys?

This is a cool thread. Here's a couple I can add...they were taken a year and a few months apart. Sorry for the low-quality pics.

His is a 400E like mine. Gear ratios are different than your 300E. Notice the marks on your speedo that show redline in gears. Yours are at 35mph for first, 59 for second, and 100 for third. On our 400E speedos, those are at 49 for first, 85 for second, and 134 for third.

Probably a bad pressure sender, I have the same problem. Someday I'll replace that $65 little bugger

Haha, I just knew someone was going to comment on my oil pressure gauge...for awhile it had been real finicky, and would only work some of the time. Since that picture was taken, I went under the car and put some dielectric grease on the connection (along with cleaning off all the grit and grime), and viola! Problem temporarily fixed.

I know this is an old thread I started with my 77777, but it seemed foolish to start another. This past friday:
