Why don't you run a Carfax© report on it?

>>17251364
I would like to know this answer as well.

Well since it got reset everyday.....

>>17252699
Also only had 5digit odometer so resets every 100k

>>17252699
No, assuming it didn't reset everyday.

>>17252836
no. the premise of the movie was about a man that was trapped living the same day over and over again. the truck's mileage reset everyday. fuck you. you are a faggot.

>>17252847
No, I think you're misunderstanding. Like, what if the truck's mileage didn't reset everyday? What do you think the mileage was on it?

>>17252869
It reset every day.

>>17252886
You're still not getting it. Like, what if it didn't? How many miles would it have on it?

>>17252892
it resets

>>17251791
Are you niggers really having a fight over the odometer of a truck in a fucking movie?

>>17252909
But what if it didn't?
>>17252915
Not fighting at all. Just making conversation about automobiles.

Why? It's just a fun little hypothetical discussion. What's wrong? Do you have mental problems?

>>17252980
You see each day was the same day repeating, so the mileage didn't accumulate.

Right, but we're abstract thinkers and we can think about how many miles would be on it, over and above what it could display. I mean, we're human, after all.

>>17253028
It only has as many miles as it displays.

You and I both have seen enough disreputable dealers to know that's not true.

My guess is it would be the same each day since it resets.

No see I'm asking if it didn't reset each day? What do you think? Like if it or we just added it up in succession.

What do you think?

>>17253979
>Probably like a billion dude
How did you reach that conclusion?

>>17252869
The movie doesn't say, but in the book, he repeats the same day basically the equivalent of 10,000 years.

So the truck would have lots of miles on it if it didn't reset every day.

>>17252847
>you are a faggot.
this

>>17254027
How many do you think, though?

>>17254012
i think it reset everyday

>>17254035
Eh, 3 million.

>>17254183
Yeah you're probably right. But what if it didn't?
>>17254801
Nah, that's way too low.

>>17254012
It would be whatever it was when he started driving that day because all the miles he put on it were removed when the day reset.

>>17254027
This guy estimated based on evidence from the film that he spent 12395 days (33 years) on Groudhog Day.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYAx9RX1OmY

Phil also didn't drive the truck every day, because why would he? He wouldn't be able to get far, so it would be futile.

We only ever see him get in it for that one scene to steal the groundhog and drive off the cliff.

Most of the scenes of him traveling around town, he's walking anyway.

>>17254985
It doesn't really matter, since it resets

>>17254973
I feel ya. I really do. But let's just, for argument's sake, do a hypothetical on if it didn't reset. What would you say?

>>17254961
>way too low
Small town, didn't drive it every day, can only drive it so far in a day.

>>17254985
I've seen estimates anywhere from 33 years to 10,000 years to 1,000,000 years.

I like where your head is at, though.

I mean, he could drive the truck every day. He may even do hundreds of miles in a day for a while.

Then again, who's to say that's the truck he drove every day?

Interesting thoughts, anon.

This is some astonishing form of autism.

>>17251364
it would be the same every day. Except for the last day because he didn't drive out there.

>>17254996
Yeah but if it didn't, ya know?
>>17255003
No you're misunderstanding. I mean, no matter how many days he's stuck or how much he drove it, what do you think the mileage added up to?

>>17255014
No he didn't do the same thing everyday. Also, I'm not asking about the daily mileage, I'm asking about the total mileage. What do you think the total mileage on the 1972 Chevy C-10 pickup would be? Total, as in, if it didn't reset and we continued to add it up?

>>17254996
But that seems a trivial thing to discuss.
The obvious question being asked is if it didn't.

Another way to ask the question is: How many miles did Bill Murray himself drive in the Chevy over the many groundhog days, regardless of what the odometer in the vehicle indicated.

>>17255023
This guy gets it.

>>17255022
it'd be what he starts his day with, since it resets every morning (in the movie he wakes up and the day is the same as the day before, etc)

>>17251375
this, run a fucking VIN check you idiot.

>>17255022
I don't know what the future will be but I know there are some slippery spots in the garage between the Boomer and their love of conspiracy theories.

>>17255038
Oh I didn't mean to get all existential. I was just wondering what you thought the mileage would be if we added it up.

>>17255045
oh well if you meant it that way, it'd be whatever it was that morning, since it resets

>>17255045
But it's a bit of a long shot at least consult with Mitsubishi and convert it to a certified public accountant of the gearbox motor.

>>17255057
Yeah but if you had to guess the total what would you say?
>>17255063
Now I'm confused. I hope the bot gives a good guess, though.

>>17255079
I have never run into one that has given me even a hint of the right of the costco entrance.

>>17255085
Hmmm. How many miles would you say though?

>>17255141
The objective is to establish the gearbox motor data and I think I have the tool to do that shit unless you want to consult your doctor.

>I mean, he could drive the truck every day. He may even do hundreds of miles in a day for a while.
The whole movie is about Phil going through a transition from being a bastard to improving himself. Can you learn French and recite poetry, learn to ice sculpt, learn the piano, and all of the errands while driving a significant amount of miles every groundhog day?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKGOG-Pr81E

It even starts the big snow storm in the early evening, further reducing times of the day that Phil could drive.


Also, consider that the truck is stolen from Buster Green. Phil would have to steal the truck from a well-respected member of the community every day that he wanted to drive it. Phil isn't a kleptomaniac, he only stole it once that we see for his single attempt at suicide by catastrophic crash in the quarry.

My connection to this movie is that I used to teach the mayor's wife computers.

Big, nice house in Chicago. Didn't clean up the cats shit though.

>>17255158
I don't think you fully grasp just how long he's there.

I mean, even in the short clip you showed, it indicates that Phil has learned of every single unique moment in the town. Now, that could bolster your argument. But it would also suggest or cause us to imagine that there was at least some point in time where Phil was desperately trying to escape the town.

Eventually he resigned himself to learn all the intricacies and idiosyncrasies of the town.

>>17255172
Neat.

What do you think the mileage on the 1972 Chevy C-10 was in the context of the film? If we were to add up the mileage and it didn't reset, of course. That'd be silly.

>>17255186
Bout tree fiddy.

>>17255183
I don't think anyone knows how long he was there or exactly what he did during all of those groundhog days so this is all opinion.

>imagine that there was at least some point in time where Phil was desperately trying to escape the town.
The first time they tried to leave the town, Phil quickly (within the same day) discovered the futility of leaving. Him being a meteorologist, probably understood more how futile it was to try and leave.

I'd stipulate that one morning, he probably got up and stole that truck or another vehicle right out of town, but the first time he woke up it would be back in Punxsutawney, so that's probably only good for one long trip back to Pittsburgh?

Hardly a big deal in the perspective of tens to thousands of years of time, don't you think?

>>17255373
Your logic is not bad at all. I suppose I'm putting myself into the situation.

I mean, my brain would think, maybe if I go the other way? Maybe if I try this road or that road?What do I have to lose?

I mean, who's to say it's not the snowstorm that's causing it all?

Furthermore, as a meteorologist, I doubt he'd continue to think it were futile to leave. In fact, you could probably argue that a meteorologist would be even MORE tempted to brave the storm due to their vast experience with, well, storms.

Personally, I just can't imagine proceeding to figure out truly every minute detail that happens through the course of the day in the town, effectively becoming God, without first trying to figure out every and any means of potential escape. Almost as if figuring out every aspect of the town would be the last resignation of my fate.

Either way, you do bring some intelligent thinking to the subject. I appreciate it.

>>17256125
>maybe if I go the other way? Maybe if I try this road or that road?What do I have to lose?
Phil already started to lower the percent chance that he'd be getting out of his groundhog day cycle on the very first days, so he probably was already highly pessimistic about his chances for success.

If Phil's day started at 6AM (according to the clock and radio show that starts), and Phil got on the road by 8AM, there are a lot of choices of roads to make before he falls asleep. He had no clues to go on about choosing a road that would yield better results, adding to the futility of such a task.

Even if you were told that there was *a* way to escape, what criteria would you use to figure it out? Exhaustively try every route permutation?

>who's to say it's not the snowstorm that's causing it all?
It's funny that you say that, because the first time that I watched this movie, I personally considered if some strange weather magic was happening to create this loop in time -- like an aurora borealis.

>Furthermore, as a meteorologist, I doubt he'd continue to think it were futile to leave. In fact, you could probably argue that a meteorologist would be even MORE tempted to brave the storm due to their vast experience with, well, storms.
I see what you mean, but good meteorologists don't make good drivers in blizzard conditions, but it doesn't matter because a semi blocks the one road that they got on. This probably cuts off many avenues of escape from above though...

>Personally, I just can't imagine proceeding to figure out truly every minute detail that happens through the course of the day in the town, effectively becoming God, without first trying to figure out every and any means of potential escape.
Part of the movie is exploring the stages of understanding his new reality, but you might only really know when you find yourself looping the same day like Phil.

>Either way, you do bring some intelligent thinking to the subject. I appreciate it.

>Phil already started to lower the percent chance that he'd be getting out of his groundhog day cycle on the very first days, so he probably was already highly pessimistic about his chances for success.
I don't know. I think panic would more likely set in, particularly in the very first days/first months. I would assume that the first part would be when he would do his most driving. As escaping the town would probably be the first natural thought/reaction to attempt to figure out/escape/put a stop to the situation.

>Even if you were told that there was *a* way to escape, what criteria would you use to figure it out? Exhaustively try every route permutation?
I see what you're saying, but we're shown in the movie that Phil knows literally every single permutation of the town and what happens in it. From a kid falling out of a tree, to flat tires, to indiivdual's hopes and dreams and backgrounds, down to things like the moment someone lights their cigarette. He literally knows every single action/behavior/background of anyone and everything in town.

>Part of the movie is exploring the stages of understanding his new reality, but you might only really know when you find yourself looping the same day like Phil.
Well of course.
