I have one on mine, it's for corvettes built for shipment to Canada. You can toggle between MPH or kPH (kilometers). You might also notice screwy oil pressure gauge numbers. You can also toggle between miles and kilometers on your odometer.

I dont know if you realized this but it almost 2006.
If that car was purchased late 1999, that would make 3 owners in over 5 years..Thats no biggie at all. He!!, My ex-wife has had more husbands in 5 years than this car has had owners. 
Shes probably been "Driven" harder too
. I'd like one.

Could be a good reason that there has probably been at least two previous owners. Could also be reasons that a new owner would not want to deal with. Just urging caution.

Wierd, I was in Canada the other day, and I had mine set on metric. There's a few back roads up there by my cottage I like to mess around on, and I ran out of speedometer rather quickly. I wondered what they did about that...
