I got into my S this morning, and i noticed that when i opened the door, it did the speedometer needle bounce thing until the door was closed. I've read about it here before but i dont recall if it means anything.

Anyhow, i noticed that my clock was stuck on 1:05pm (ok, so it wasnt morning but i just woke up ) and wouldnt advance along with the rest of the universe. So i reset it to 1:18pm, but it did the same thing. Why I shut the car off at two different times during the trip (once before the clock reset, once after) but it had no effect. I havent checked it since. My car is low on gas but i dont think that means anything... No other problems with the car to this point. weird, huh? anyone have any ideas about this??

could be a computer bug, try unplugging the battery for a while and then reconnecting it... then see if it works

 

I'm telling you, ex-Lucas Engineers migrated over to Siemens...

seems fine now. must have been a glitch. it was actually 14 minutes ahead of the real time so i set it back.

 

It is obvious to me that you are experiancing difficulty with the time space converter. Did the car seem smaller inside when this happened? Did the inside dimentions seem to match the size of the outside of the car? If so then clearly the space converter is going bad. Be very careful, if this device fails while you are in the car you will shrink.

 

Perhaps you are finally approaching the Dark Tower.

 

Do Mulder and Scully drive through area – this clock stuff happens to them a lot.

 

It happens when you drive in "Spook Hill".

 

was your flux capaciter acting up? Sounds like another sequal to Back to the future!

 

If it runs slow you don't age as fast

 

thanks you guys have been helpful as always

Things seem to be smooth now though... not sure what it was.

If it happens again, it's very easily repairable with a small left handed, metric cresent wrench.

 

My clock works but I it does seem to fall a minute or two behind each month. I guess I'm spending too much of my daily driving too close to the speed of light...
