Standing Still and Going 110 mph

Last Friday, Mike noticed that the spedometer in our Yukon was registering at 60 mph, even though he was only going about 30 mph. The next thing we knew, we were "going" 110, even though the car was stopped at a light. Apparently, the spedometer went out in the car. I started to get worried about driving it and having to guess how fast I would be going. Mike said that he was concerned that it would be very expensive to replace, but he would be willing to get it fixed if it was not too expensive.

Fortunately, luck was on our side! Mike called the repair place, and they asked how many miles we had on our car. He told them 69,870. They told us that the part was under warranty if we did not exceed 70,000 miles...we made it by about 100 miles! Good thing, because we think it would have been about $1000 to get it fixed without the warranty. We were so amazed and grateful that we barely qualified for the warranty. What a blessing!
