Maybe I didn't have to give the VIN, then.  I thought I remembered doing so.  I know that you do with a used car, I thought I did with this car.  I remember that I had to pay extra for the online part of CR and then I bought the info from their site, though I believe I could have done it over the phone.  My memory is not so great on detailed things, anymore.  But, CR it is a useful service for most, I think .....bobford
