I didn't think it was possible to mess with digital odometers, but there's been an Ohio dealership busted
between November 2020 and May 2022, Nwaru “knowingly disconnected, reset and altered the mileage registered by the odometer on vehicles, changing them from high mileage to lower mileage, before selling them to customers.”
The government pointed to rollbacks on eight different vehicles that had their mileage reduced by roughly 80,000 to 100,000 miles (128,748 to 160,934 km) each.
In particular, the Ohio Attorney General claimed they misrepresented actual mileage in written odometer disclosure statements and did not disclose odometer discrepancies to some customers. However, the real kicker was the “discrepancies were the result of … rolling back the odometers before selling the vehicles to consumers.”
They went on to highlight the case of a customer who paid $4,295 for a 2002 Acura MDX with a claimed 132,000 miles on it. However, it had actually been driven 168,120 miles.
The state also pointed to other problems with titles, paperwork, and not properly disclosing the fact that they were selling rebuilt salvage vehicles.

Smallest Cog, Hammonds workshop for restoring cars, is growing, and will now hire 3 more employees.
Issuing a call for new staff, Hammond said the team needs a mechanic, a panel beater, and a painter.
the job description:
hopefuls need to be "absolutely at the top of your game", able to live within commuting distance of the workshop in Rotherwas, Hereford and, "above all, just brilliant".
the German automotive sector has taken another blow, as a key part of the manufacturing chain has filed for bankruptcy.
Bohai Trimet made gearboxes and body parts for VW
Several automotive suppliers based in Saxony-Anhalt have been forced to file for bankruptcy in the past six months, including Boruszew Kunststofftechnik and Schlote.

another reminder of that dichotomy that cars that can't be sold in the USA can be driven across the border and stay here to be used as commuters. Makes me wonder why that's allowed, if the DOT won't certify them as safe for the public roads in the USA
I saw one of these 2 years ago, and asked the same question https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2023/02/occasionally-here-on-border-of-tijuana.html

Dan Gurney won the first Motor Trend 500 in this Galaxie 500, owned and crewed by the Wood Brothers and prepped by Holman and Moody
I am looking forward to putting racing numbers on my ol Dodge someday, and have been looking at race car door numbers for years to get a design to emulate. This might be it

Coolest thing I saw today (and in the morning commute even!) ... a W34, and the driver went from wondering why I slowed down to check it out, to smiling that I was appreciating it and taking pictures! When is the last time you saw one of these?
