'I spent hundreds of unnecessary dollars in oil changes': Man finds out his car's odometer was set to kilometers instead of miles 7 years after he bought it

New fear unlocked. So, this man bought a used car about seven years ago. Everything checked out, the car ran great, and all of the paperwork was in order. The only peculiar thing he noticed was that he was putting "miles" on the car pretty fast, but he didn't think much of it because he drove a lot and took a lot of weekend trips. Fast forward SEVEN years when he took the car into the shop. After arguing with the technician about how many miles were on the car, the OP uncovered the unfortunate truth. 

Although the OP was upset about this new discovery and the paperwork/insurance issues he now has, the comment section is filled with Redditors hyping the OP up by telling him that he just gained an extra 68,000 miles to his car! And because it's well maintained, it's going to run for, like, ever. One user claimed that the car now belongs to Reddit, so we must know how long the car actually runs. Hopefully there's an update to this story in the future!
