HAHAHHAHAA Drive faster LOL thats a really good one. Actually that statement is inaccurate... the faster you drive the slower the internal clock is compared to the time on earth.

Did I get that right?

Yes, if you drive slower the clock will catch up to you.

Hmm... I noticed this but thought I was imagining it.

I guess it's a pet peeve of mine that a car with NAV should need to have its clock adjusted ever...
