RW> Not!

Read - not just pretend - but READ! my other message on this. And READ! the
German Wikepedia article. You'd learn a lot, and cease to pretend that American
rules and systems apply throughout the world.

Only problem is that you ignore the fact that my car was first registered and
sold in Germany, not in Japan.

Made in or imported to and sold in the USA.

RW> BTW, Nancy's BMW shows the same kind of VIN...

Same comment. What does that have to do with Germany? Right, absolutely
nothing.

RW> Need more proof?

Proof? Roy, just READ for once instead of slapping down some stuff that applies
in the States but nowhere else. It doesn't "prove" a thing except that what you
write applies in the USA (maybe only in Texas).

But I live in Germany, and my car was first registered and sold in Germany.
Now, does a light go on above your head when you READ! that?

Cheers, Bob
