VIN registry?
#11
Thats why I have etched glass ones, because they are hard to read, but they are still there.
So I suggest people get etched glass ones.
But I would like to add to this suggestion.
Could we make the vin registry PRIVATE? Maybe showing a couple of the sequential numbers as private?
Like
Mine...
1G2HX54C3KW256332
1G2HX54C3KW***332
But it can be seen by mods and admin?
I know theres holes in this idea too, but maybe someone can think of something better? Because I really like this VIN registry idea.

This was one above that led me to the deduction of the club stickers and when WJ said he had etched glass ones on..

FWIW, I've had to change my telephone number twice because of this Forum. Data privacy is paramount. In addition, posting your email address on a public forum leaves you open to spambots who search the internet daily for spam targets.
Personal information (including VIN numbers) should never be shared. While it would be safe to leave it only visible to the Admins and Moderators, databases have been hacked in the past, including our own.
What would be the main benefit(*) to such a registry, and would those benefits outweigh the risks?

I have em there so people can see them, but not enough so that if someone has a tiff at me on the road, that they can read them there.
i just don't like the look of the REALLY OBVIOUS ones.
