814 411

Dante · 03-07-2006, 01:37 AM

So, I have observed something... seems like every picture I've ever seen of the dash of the Sky shows exactly 814 miles on the clock. Why is that? Area code 814 is central PA, which has nothing to do with the Sky, so far as I can figure. Anyone got any bright ideas?

I see the 814 Miles in the pictures first released by Saturn over a year ago -- is there other places you have seen this number pop up? If not I'd say ist just the miles as recorded normally.

Since the odometer is a digital display the ignition would need to be on to see the miles... maybe for show purposes (on the pre production hand built cars)it has one of those plastic overlays like you see on digital watches or clocks that shows a time even though it is off.... Just a thought.

Hrmm, could be an overlay but it looks pretty convincing...

Here's something I just got from Saturn in a promtional email...

probably the same car at the same time a bunch of different pictures were taken and they show up at different times?

I think it's just an overlay.

Could be photoshopped

Dante · 03-07-2006, 10:48 PM

Whether or not it's photochopped isn't the question. The question is why 814?! LOL It could be that was the tester model and they took it out to the track for a couple days to put some miles on the clock. I just think it would be interesting to know if someone put that number on there for a reason, or if it's totally random.

yes, this is the most inane thread ever.

**Skip** · 03-07-2006, 11:42 PM

I Know I know.. 814 added together adds up to 13. Magic number. Actually I told them to do that to confuse Eldeeko Ernest and Skip. Delnari told me to do it. Skip....

He just went past me and he squeeled like a pig, he was all greased up too! Think maybe he was a going to a barbeque. Do they have anything more than just RoadKill in alabam?

It is like clocks in ads and catalogues -- always 3 or 4:20...
