It uses a digital odometer which only have 6 place values. An analog odometer will roll over to all zeros.

He's giving it to a friend who's putting a turbo on it. When (not if) he blows the motor, Farah is getting a coffee table out of the engine block.

Think it would be great if he sent that in and had it reset back to 000000. Saw this article this morning.

So that explains why it's been appearing in Tavarish's latest videos.

EDIT: I found a video from Matt Farah, handing the car off to Tavarish, and an article about the twin turbo install:

I still hope they do something about the car's looks. Matt really let it deteriorate over the past few years.

They should find someway to modify the odometer to make it record miles past 999999 and just keep driving it. Seems like a waste for some idiot to put turbos on it and blow it up in a weekend after all the trips that car has done over its 23yr life

I'd rather have the coffee table so yeah turbo that thing and blow it up. Car might be iconic but it's lived its life on the road and will be a cool art piece in the dudes home as a table.

I'd take the front clip off too and mount it up high in my garage.
