Anyone know..
 
If i can break my speedometer?
I've got the se speedo so it goes up to 115(pretty sure) and the other day i burried the needle putting it close to the bottom.
and if your gonna call b.s. just don't bother.

I dont think that you could break it, bu burying it. my dads 94 S10 only goes up to 85 and I have had that thing going well past 100

It's not built like that... it'll just hit and stick. run'er up as high as you want.

I just wanted to know just in case. :lol:
I was scared to death when i went past 120 :shock:
But like grinding down a 20 step rail on a little kids bike, it's scarey but fun!!!

My speedo goes by kph, I've burried my 88 le's needle plenty of times past 135 k and its fine.

yup totally fine because all the gaues are electronically controlled, not by a cable like the old(er) cars. If they're mechanical they can break but not the electronic ones. :)
