Thanks for the info. I'll look into a "Heritage certificate". Didn't
realize all that info was available on a certificate. I wish it was
available online, but then, they couldn't sell certificates. :)
In the same vein as buying a load of groceries and having the total come to
a nice, even number, my car number sounds kind of fake. I'll have to check
the other locations for it to be sure a PO didn't take a bought badge down
to "Joe Sikspak's Engraving and Tropical Fish Sales" and make up a number.
