There was a car dealer near here who was famous for running the clocks back. Apparently that's quite illegal. The owner died in prison. -- Futility Man

He had been rolling back the clocks for years and got sloppy at it, flaunted that he couldn't be caught, and lost. He formerly had the largest GM dealership in town. It quickly folded when he went to the Big House, stayed empty for a few years, then Lowe's opened a store in the building. Now it's a John Deere Tractor/Honda Motorcycle dealership. -- Futility Man
