I've noticed with my car that if I go in reverse, I can roll back my odometer. The speedometer also goes backwards. I know that this was eventually corrected, but I was just curious as to when?

But seriously, I had no idea that was ever true, I though it was just an urban legend. I never noticed it in my 1979 Firebird.

Never seen that movie :P
Ryan, might be worth a double check!
If you take it through an empty parking lot in reverse, if you notice the speedo go backwards, your odometer might, too!

I know my parent67 impala did and I pretty sure thier 82 lebaran did it to, I know my 92 doesn't roll backaeds. My guess is right about abs that changed, or when speed sensor started come on cars. If venture about 85 maybe
