we need to figure out a way to make more sense of this...
Back and posting again, now that i am legal ;-)
I was going thru and catching up on some of the posts on here and i read a lot about "miles" i was just curious if people are stating miles and converting their Km's from their odometer to miles, or saying miles and just using km's from their odometer? Just curious, i was thinking someone should decide what we should refer to when making our posts.. i have been basically dividing my kms by 2 and just referring to it as miles... (seeing as i don't feel like dividing by 1.6 or whatever.

you can always multiply by 5/8 if you don't like dividing

No need to convert, my Roketa odo is in miles, not km.

Well, when posting mileage, It is actually miles per gallon, calculated and converted and such. If I am refering to KM's I will post it in Km's. My speedo and odometer are both KM's.
Mind you I can only esitmate distances in miles... Stupid half-a$$ed metric country. |

I still wouldn't call Canada stupid or half anything, but self-deprication is a good release.

Oh I don't think Canada is stupid, just our half-a$$ed adoption of the metric system...
Construction people still use imperial, lumber is imperial. Our roads are imperial. Then again I guess we can't just move the roads to adopt to the metric system, but I can easily figure out how far 8 miles is... Not sure what 8 km's looks like. But yeah, I am not saying Canada is stupid, I love Canada... Our government... Not so sure... |
