Or GPS. My folks would have had a fit if they knew how much aimless driving I did down by the beach. Back then you could reach under the dash and disconnect the odometer cable. I bet that car had 50k unrecorded miles on it.

How old do you have to be to be told that? Asking for a friend.

Dit a ton "ami", generally at 75 but could go to 85 depending of their history.
