[urq] goofy fenders? AND VERY PISSED OFF

Bill et al,

The 9th digit in the vin is a check digit, kind of like the last number in
a ISBN number in a book or a parity check in a computer/network.  There
are several websites that show you how to calculate that number, here's
one:

My vin is WAUDC0852DA900453.  Therefore my check digit is 2, the 85 means
typ85, and the 2 is a way to check that the rest of the vin is legit.

HTH,
