Ha ha! Back in the day, pre-digital, cars had mechanical odometers which showed 5 full numerals (and a couple past the decimal point) which meant that 99,999.99 miles was the largest mileage you would ever see displayed. Going on past that was rare back then as metallurgy, lubrication and machining weren't as advanced as they are now - and getting past the magic 99,999 was known as going around the clock.

So here we go:
