Well, yeah, but it worked okay for the last several hundred years.......

Or maybe my old brain can't handle learning more new stuff.

It depends on which side of the boarder you are on!

Yes, crazy Canadians and the metric system, actually most of the world is metric, but that's another discussion.
jdmlambo is referring to my old pearlie, showing 245,000 in the high mileage chart, gave this to my son jdmlambo over a year ago and he's done a great job with it (he should..he's a certified mechanic) anyway, the car now has 280,000 miles on it, so it's got to move up the list.
My newer 1996 is still a baby with only 120k kms on it, or 74,564 miles for those who are metric challenged

Not really challenged, just too lazy to convert.

I'm old, growing up we had to learn the British Imperial system as Canada ran on it...1 pint = 20 oz., 2 pints to a quart, 4 quarts to a gallon.
Then we had to also learn the American Standard...1 pint = 16 oz as so on
Then to mess up our poor brains even more we then converted to the Metric system...somehow all these measurement have stuck in my brain. It is so nice to go to the good old USA and talk in inches, feet, yards, quarts and gallons...brings back memories of bye gone days.

Guess this makes me trilingual when it comes to units of measurement
