Just do like Rob said, get a drill and spin it! As for Carfax, it's a joke. More than 75% of the time it's wrong. All it takes is someone to put an incorrect odometer reading in when its registered, now it's "potential odometer rollback". It happened on my Cobra. -------------------- 1965 Shelby Cobra 1993 Cobra 2012 F150 Raptor 2020 GT500 Posts: 6523 | From: Orlando FL/Redding CA | Registered: Mar 2002  |  : 88notchback ¯ Member # 3260 posted                              Thank you Posts: 182 | Registered: Sep 2003  |  :
