Better Living Through Technology

Today (hopefully) my pickup truck will be ready to be picked up at the shop after two weeks of being serviced from a decade of sitting outside.  They fixed all the lights and blinkers, replaced dead fuses and belts, and cleaned up all the filters and other myriad issues.  One thing they told me that they could not fix was the broken speedometer, it sits dead at 85mph no matter what speed the vehicle is moving.  Not to worry though, with better living through technology I have downloaded a gps operated speedometer app onto my smartphone that I can place on the dash to track my speed.

When the truck was born in 1984, Im sure nobody ever thought that it would have satellite assisted speed control.
