Take this in the best spirit that it is intended. The big dial in the middle of your dash is a tachometer. It measures the speed that your engine is turning and not the wheels on your car. With an automatic the engine is still spinning slowly even when the wheels on the road are at a dead stop. The tachometer will sit between 0 and 1 or five hash marks above 0. Could that be what you are looking at? The speedometer is the dial to the left and should read 0 when you are stopped as well as the digital readout with the big orange numbers. Forgive me if you already knew any of this.[/QUOTE]

Seriously? I was stopped in my driveway with my foot on the brake. I do know the difference between all the little numbers and colors and what's digital and what's not on the dash. I've been driving for 30+ years. Thanks for trying to appease me anyway
