what if I'm not at sea level? Or even on the planet? How does my torque wrench know where I am? These are all good questions. I successfully converted my speedometer to TCPH from MPH. That's Thousands of Chicanos Per Hour. Assuming my mexican-american friends average about 5.28 feet tall, that's .... 5280 feet per hour. Thank God I changed all the labels.. Just the other day I was passing over half a million feet of CPH! Man was I moving! (that's 100mph to those of you not on the system yet).
