[urq] goofy fenders? AND VERY PISSED OFF

[Ingo Rautenberg]

The seventh number is the check digit (used to ensure that the VIN is (or
should be) correct.  See here:
http://www.angelfire.com/ca/TORONTO/VIN/checkdigit.html  and test it
yourself  the 85 refers to 2-door coupe and DC in the VIN refers to
equipment code -- Urq (turbo motor all wheel drive)
