Auto Manufacturers Running Out Of Unique IDs

wakebrdr writes "Y2K all over again? A story in today's Detroit News explains how the vehicle ID numbering system (VIN) will soon run out of unique numbers. According to the article, a member of the Society of Automotive Engineers says, 'Longer codes would require a major overhaul of computer systems that would dwarf the challenges and expenses spawned by the Y2K computer dilemma.' Golly, if it's that serious maybe I should start stocking up on MREs and ammunition in preparation for the day the assembly lines come to a screeching halt."

You sir,

[geekoid]

are scum.
First, you were driving at a high rate of speed.
Second, you got caught
Third, the patrolman decided you seemed decent enough, and beside you serve the country, and cut you a break writung you a ticket for 5 miles over the limet.

Then you though it all back at him using some cheesy mistake.

You are no different then a billion dollar company moving money around to avoid taxes.

As a vetran, I find what you have done not only an insult to police force, but a disgrace to the uniform.
