You're on you honor to tell the truth. C'mon, it's not like you could put the speedo cable in a drill and just run up a few thousand miles while you're eating a sandwich and make the new speedo match the numbers on the old.

Now he's advocating illegal tampering of a car's speedo.
The sales receipt from the dealer will in all likelihood state 5,500 miles. What now?
Uhh, suppose he drove it from the home state all the way to CA. Seems like the odometer would read, what, about 8,000?
From the CA DMV website: "If you acquire a new vehicle from another state, you may not subsequently drive it to accumulate over 7,500 miles to circumvent the law."

He didn't; his wife did the driving. He was merely a passenger.
