When I was a student at the University of California at Davis, some guy in our dorm got caught with ONE marijuana cigarette.

They stuck him in a cell with a murderer.

anyway, is there any chance that my speedometer is -10 mph off? i mean, it is reading 95, but the actual speed is 105? or is it my tire size, 205/75R14?
because of your tire size your odometer is of 5.5%. therefore, if your odometer said 100, you were doing 105.

check out this link;

stock tires on a w123 are 195/70-14..not what you have now.
