Or else the little plastic wheel with even littler fragile plastic teeth will break, and both your odometer and your trip odometer will freeze.

If you have 148,900 miles on the former, like me, you might be tempted to wonder what the fuss is about, but remember lots of service intervals are tied to your mileage, and think how proud you will be when it turns 200,000 under your loving care.

this was a nice little bit of info the previous owner of mine gave me. He had done it and sent it off to hollywood speedo to have it fixed.

Mine is on a plane to the west coast now.

I don't plan ever to sell mine but if I do I will do the next guy the same favor.

I was told the following things about my car after purchasing it:
-Drive it often
-Only check the oil level on a flat service after the car has warmed up and be careful to not overfill it
-NEVER reset the trip while moving
-Do not drive in E-bound I-70 traffic leading up to the Eisenhower tunnel because you'll burn the clutch

My previous owner (a very nice fellow) never gave me a list of advice or anything.

He just looked really sad, and vowed that this wasn't going to be the last 911 he owned. I hope he makes good on his vow.

Interesting string: "Four things the guy that sold it to you told you."
