Carfax please?



Well, this would be for my own use as I plan to not sell my rocco.  I can't give it up unless it's dead.  Did a lot of country drivin yesterday and I'm loving it more and more.  So nice to be able to pass 2 cars at once on the two-lane roads where I'd think twice about passing one car when I was driving the boat (Pontiac Parisienne).  So peppy!

Those things are never quite accurate anyway - the title on my '90 M3 got
all screwed up when I purchased it. It said, "exceeded mechanical limits"
because the odometer had such low miles they mistakenly thought it flipped.
In actuality, the odo has seven digit places (including tenths) so it would
have had to gone over a million miles for that to happen. (for those that
are curious if had been rolled back, I was believed it hadn't been because I
bought it from a born-again Christian policeman who owned it for two years
after purchasing it used from a BMW dealer... :)

It was a thorough PITA to have the DMV inspect it and have that scarlet
letter removed. Carfax still reflected that "exceeded mechanical limits"
when I sold the car even though the new pink slip was clean...Took some
serious convincing of the prospective buyer...
