Congratulation! What kind of vehicle?
|
Ima guess it's a Ford.
The square instrument panel panels make me think this. |

I'm more impressed after hearing it's a Caravan. You expect a Honda or similar to reach 200K, but a Dodge?

Deuces are wild

So is that pic!! Thought I was drunk....
Good catch. |
Yeah, I may have taken that picture while driving...
|
It's not worth looking for the proper thread, so I'll put it here...
A sedan on the freeway had the customized license plate " C GPA " I read it as "Grade Point Average, and then I thought, it must be something else. Then I realized the fellow was driving a Lexis. |
Odometer Poker.......

Hmmm...Fuel door to the left of the instrument panel...:D
|
All the modern cars have that arrow. It's so you can tell which side of the car to put next to the pump.

If only you'd checked it one tenth of a mile sooner... Still, that's a lot of damn miles!
|
Yeah, I was sposed to hit the reset when the odometer tenths was on 2 too...I may have been recovering from an endrunkening...anyway, that should've been eleven twos.
:yelsick: But, on the bright side, only 111,111.1 miles til the next chance. Quote:

It took you 2 3/4 months to put 444 miles on your jeep. You need to get out more, bro.
|
I'm poor.
And it's cold and ugly out. |
but it's a Jeep!
|
Not bragging or anything but...:
http://i.imgur.com/dcA1Fgw.jpg Yes, that's my truck. No, they aren't ALL my miles. And currently, I'm at 804595 |
I've never seen a truck gauge before. It's cool that fuel is so prominent.
|
That is very important information.
Today I learned...that my truck doesn't go lower than 31 gallons indicated. However, sloshing fuel will change the reading lower. I have a 165 gallon capacity and I put in 158 gallons. I was beyond fumes and was only running on prayers. $708 bill. Ouch. Note to self, try to avoid buying diesel in New York in future. |
Here's my entry. I just happened to look down when I was driving and saw this was coming up in 3/10 of a mile. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/07/3eny7a7u.jpg
|
Nice catch, but, that's a weird pic. The odo/tripmeter numbers are legible, as are the needles for tach/speedo...But the numbers for the tach/speedo, and the numbers/letters, as well as the needles, for temp & fuel gauges are double vision territory.
Kinda weird. |
that is weird how they are sharp.
|
Reverse doppler effect
|
I bet the camera twisted clockwise/counterclockwise rather than sliding laterally. It's like those time lapse star photos where the stars on the outside make long curved lines, but the one star in the center of the photo looks pretty much just like a dot.
|
The camera bumped up/down during the exposure. All the elements are doubled, it's just a lot easier to see in areas of high contrast. Even the odometer readout.
|
The double images are more pronounced at the top of the image than at the bottom, so I think instead of a bump, it was a pivot/tilt. The lower half of the image stayed in the same area of the frame and remained sharp, but as the camera tilted upward, the upper part of the image got that double image motion blur.
Easier for me to visualize than explain, but basically the pivot point was the lower half of the image, so it stayed sharper there. |
I'm going to go with the Glattfobble explanation.
|
Huh? Isn't the double image just the reflection of the gauges on the piece of plastic that covers the gauges? and it angles. so...
or have i just gone stupid? is there really some sort of complex sci-fi explanation? or are most of you stoned and feeling really smart? |
Quote:
|
Infi, I'm sure that you are many things...I'm equally sure that stupid is not one of those things.
But, I'm going with the Glattsplanation. An up/down jiggle would produce the effect we're seeing, and would not be as pronounced in the vertical plane (explaining the more focused gauge needles, somewhat). |
Maybe it's a little shaky because he's taking pictures of his instrument panel at 75 fucking miles an hour... probably drunk... in a school zone.. on icy roads... with children in the car! :smashfrea
|
Quote:
But anyway. The more focused gauge needles are because the needles are closer to the aforementioned reflective plastic that is causing the doubly images in the picture. Oh never mind, I'm sure it's way more difficult than I'm making it. ;) |

This was my Impala when I traded it in back in December...she was still going strong too:
|
A pair of threes? Pah
|
you don't play much poker, do ya?
odometer wise though... 320k miles, that's a lot of wheel time. |
I got screwed by the River.
277,000 miles in just over 3 years. She was very good to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Not odometer poker, but close:

My wife's Avalon rolled 300,000 yesterday! Yes, the CE light is on and I reset it every 2 weeks or so. We had it fixed once and cost $600 and lasted a year or so. Took it back to the same shop and they said not to worry about it, just reset it. It passes the state inspection every year.

I don't know why my pix are so big, I do everything the same.
|
Ya might try changing the size of your saved pics. My phone saves pics in one of three sizes, yours probably has more choices. Maybe under camera settings.
