I dont think theres any way of knowing that by hooking it up to a computer.

Are you looking to buy a car and want to know how its been driven?

yes its possible. ive seen them. i think they are a great idea. they were first invested so you could see if the valet took your ferrari out for a spin. they are aftermarket and they do exist and i have no clue where they are hidden

I think he is trying to scare you into confessing. but it does sound like you need to chill out on your dad's car since you did'nt buy it.

there is something you can plug right into the obd port and it will record the speed and rpms and some other stuff but it has to be plugged in while your driving. If its not there isnt any way he can tell if you were speeding. Fords computer suck the big one. I know there are a bunch of other companies that monitor everything and you can review it by plugging a computer into it. (vw is big on this)

If I was your dad I would slap you, take the car away, and force you to drive this:
