here's how you do it...........go to the nearest lake or beach, find a pier and drive down in reverse until your car gets wet......this will short out the electrical system, and BOOM - no mileage.

Sorry Dude, It aint gonna happen. and heres why.

Out Odomiters are digital, the # is recorded on a chip that only counts up. To reset the milage you have to reset/replace the chip. the only way to do that is get a new chip. the only way to get a new chip is from the factory, and unless you have some sort of mad hookups at the factory, it aint gonna happen.

Call your local FBI office and ask them, they can tell you! Remember to leave your name number and address. and they'll knock at your door in a few moments.

Yeah, I like the idea of getting it wet. That will fix it nice and quick.

That is just plain stupid.

I heard if u go in reverse it actually SUBTRACTS miles. So just drive backwards until the miles are down to zero.
