A collection for the last three.
When people are going 75 on my slow two lane highway 55mph commute inwhich I have been driving for years , It is a good sign that my speedo is off by plus ten.
If you bought a hundred gallons of gas and only got 90, would you not be pissed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If your boss said you would make a hundred a day and only paid you 90, would not be pissed!!!!!!!!
If the electric company charged you for 100 Kw and you only used 90, would you not be pissed!!!!!!!!
If the Gov. said it would tax you 9% and then taxed at 10%, would you not be pissed!!!!!
If you bought an alarm clock and it was 10% off, would you not be pissed!!!!!
If you went to a firefight with 10% less O2 than the gauge said, would you not possibly die!!!!!!!!!
I have a BS in MIS, If I wrote this program I would be out of work!!!!
Old analog speedo calibrations worked on magnets and centrifical force. Lots of variance in all aspects of tolerance levels. Not a math function in a line of code.
X spins in Y time equals Z speed. My five year old could figure this out. ( oh and sure 'spins' has a variance. I would be fine with 3%)
It's the ten percent plus that is not acceptable! What good is something that does not work properly.
It is people like you that put up with shit like this that is the problem. You probably watch Shock-Jock opinion programming and believe that too.
I AM OUT!
Support the Chinese army and shop at Walmart.......Fool!
I have sympathy with your sentiments!
I can imagine manufacturers love idjits that are too stupid to realise that some "instrument inaccuracies" are actually false advertising.
whoaaa, my bike can do 230km/h - back at the ranch it's only 210km/h
whoaaa, my consumption is only 5l/100km - back at the ranch it's actually 5.5l/100km
whoaaa, my bike only needs a service every 10 000km - erm 9 000km...
I had the same arguments with people that said the S10 not having a gear indicator is no big deal - just calculate it from the rpm.... yes, I'm also an engineer and that's precisely why I would make the instruments more accurate
oddly enough, these are probably the guys knocking the BMW at every opportunity - my experience has been that the BMW has been very accurate in most areas..... and has a gear indicator
