that the odometer stays on when the car is off. its extremely faint, i saw it when looking for something with a flashlight. i even pressed the button to make sure and it reset. do forgive me if this isnt anything new. i just thought it was interesting.

My odometer is totally dark when the car is shutdown. Perhaps yours is radioactive?

mine appears that way, but get a flashlight and look at it. on mine anyway, you see the display very faintly lit, and toggle between a and b and reset it.

I can see through my car windows whether the engine is running or not!

Not to burst your guys' bubble, but that happens with most kinds of LCD displays. Try shining a flashlight on an LCD alarm clock. Usually works the same.

Or our cars could be radioactive like someone already said. After all, they were built in Hiroshima Japan.

Well, you may be right about the odo, but let's not jump to conclusions. You still may be completely insane.
