Blonde Odometer Rollback
A blonde was trying to sell her old car. She was having a lot of problems selling it, because the car had almost 230,000 miles on it.
One day, she told her problem to a brunette she worked with at a salon. The brunette told her, "There is a possibility to make the car easier to sell, but it's not legal."
"That doesn't matter," replied the blonde, "if I can only sell the car."
"Okay," said the brunette. "Here is the address of a friend of mine. He owns a car repair shop. Tell him I sent you and he will 'fix it'. Then you shouldn't have a problem anymore trying to sell your car."
The following weekend, the blonde made the trip to the mechanic. About one month after that, the brunette asked the blonde, "Did you sell your car?"
"No," replied the blonde, "Why should I? It only has 50,000 miles on it!"
No offense to Blondes...just seemed right for the situation.

Put the car in reverse and drive around in circles to make the odometer go back :)

You don't even have to go threw all that. You just buy used dashboard from a junkyard with a car that has less miles but the digital ones are hard to hack, the regular ones they sell a part on the black market that hook up to a drill and you spin it til it turns over and then work back up til you get to the mileage you want, this way it doesn't open like happens when you try to run the odometer in the reverse direction of normal..

I had a friend from the chevy garage show me back in 83 you have to remove the spindle and pull the tape that holds the tabs in place then spin back each tab when you hit zero go to the next tab and spin the first and second at the same time and so forth
