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
