<VV> RE: Inspections for Antique/Emissions

[Frank DuVal]

Many vehicles in the 80's had these odometer triggers. VW, BMW also had 
them. I'm sure there were others.

30k, 60k, 90k  And then the dealer would disconnect it as they didn't 
think the car would last much longer?

I love people that complain of an engine running problem and when I ask 
if the check engine light is on they say "at least six months".
