Right before I pulled into the garage. I dont know what it is about the same number across the odometer, but I think its neat. Anyone else? Any odometer superstitions out there?

It's bad luck to be superstitious.

I'm not superstitious about it but I get a kick out of the odometer reading all the same numbers too.

Me too.

On my '96 I had all 4's last month. I also slowed on the highway to 44mph.

My wife and I call them "wooooey woo"s. And you need to scream it when it happens.

The trip odometer broke on my 1973 C3. Rather than repair it I'm thinking of rotating the number wheels to "1973".

I'm not superstitious but any time I encounter 3 6's in a row I drive just a bit further. Why tempt fate? Does anyone remember the early days of the LED display calculators when when you'd amaze your friends and plug in "01134"?
