<VV> LM speedometer cable

[Jim Houston]

  I took my GPS when I went to St. Augustine last week to get my 
windshield installed.  Found out my speedometer reads exactly 5 mph fast 
at any speed (hmm, new book: "Fast At Any Speed"??)...  anyway, now I 
know that it's off so I shouldn't have a problem keeping it within the 
speed limit...
