The above is available on Home Depot's web site, but is not a stock item in their stores (they will ship it for free to one of their stores for pickup, however, but that doesn't help me if I need it before next Thursday). And while the do stock some small metric sets (or is that Menards?), an 18mm bit is pretty big, and even if they had a set of more common sizes, finding an 18mm in stock is going to be much harder. Even finding something as simple as a 4mm x .7 x 60mm bolt is probably not going to happen* at your local home center (although you might well find 30 and 40mm lengths). *Yeah, I needed two a few months ago. Fortunately my favorite Internet supply house is willing to ship a package of a dozen (or so). Still, I had to wait for that. I was ready to drill it out and re-tap it for a #10, but there wasn't all that much extra material there, and I decided I could wait...

More traditional ones have tiny blue numbers for kph and big white ones for MPH. I have driven in Canada, and sometimes it is hard to see the little numbers. I believe, though, that on a lot of cars now the electronics is digital with an analog display. The computer that does all the engine ignition calculations also knows the speed, and just sends it out through a DAC. I believe that in Puerto Rico, that road distances are in km, where speed limits are in MPH.
