> well i’d just unplug the cel if i could…and just curious…how would i get caught…like if i get pulled over the cop wouldn’t check my mileage on my car would he…but if its just keeping it under 5k…i think i might be able to do that without swapping odometers…if i had to drive anywhere far i could them mess with it

even if you unplug the MIL (the check engine light), the computer would show it commanded on (if it’s still an OBD II system). I checked the PennDot Emissions book, just to be sure, and as long as you have owned the car for a full year, and driven less than 5000 miles in one full calender year since the last emission test, than it’s exempt and you are good to go.
