It is in a loop to draw the tick marks and calculating the label number based on the angle. It was a rounding problem.

Bob will tell you that time I set the cruise in my Caprice to 109 for like 20 minutes.
Ha! Provided for your convenience if you ever decide to drive north of Bangor on I-95. BTW, the speed limit is 75 there now.

I recall it being a long time. Setting the cruise at 109 for 20 minutes would cover 36 miles, which I guess is possible given how vast and empty it is up there. I still miss driving in that part of Maine. The roads weren't great from a technical standpoint, but I love how desolate it was.

I should buy these:

Ok fine, I don't have the car yet... Whatever. Not going to lie. I looked into if I could put these on the Mazda3 in the mean time. Looks like I can't...
These are:
Both the 83-85' and 86-88' style stock wheels had:
195/75R14 5x120.65
215/65R15 5x120.65
3mm negative offset
3 3/4" of rear backspacing
circle bolt pattern of 5 X 4 3/4 inches (5x120.7mm)
From:

or

The Mazda3 are:
Size:15x6
Offset:+43mm
Backspacing:5.12"
Bolt Pattern:5-114
Rec. Tire Size:195/65-15
So close...

Go buy that right now unless it has major issues. Probably a 5.3. Offer $3500 w/o wheels?
