Seems to me that someone could make the claim (or think to themselves)
that the pictures were faked. Is there any way you can open up the
speedometer and roll it back to your real mileage? Or maybe hook an
electric drill up to the back and run it until the odometer rolls over
then run it up to your actual mileage?
