Is it just me or is the distance calculator in the free classifieds very wrong.
It tells me Texas is 300-400 miles from me in North Dakota:wacko:

Hi Aaaron, sometimes the guys enter a wrong number in the zip (they are not expecting the program to demand it so take a guess when entering their ad) this tosses the calculator for a loop. If a bunch are wrong then your zip code be messed up (it's only stored as a cookie on your machine) and if so, deleting your cookies for www.camaros.net and then re-entering your zip usually clears this up.

I never have been able to get that to work, on any of about 5-6 different computers.

You could be right about a small town zip, the database is not that great.
