Hey does anyone know where I could find the way to decode my VIN number? I remember seeing a while ago that each number stood for something and you could find out a lot about your car from those digits. Anyway, I was looking for recalls, started thinking about that, and now I can't find it.

That's exactly what I was looking for. I had already checked for the recall. Curiosity had kicked in and I was just wondering about the bottom part and what each number in the VIN stood for. Thanks alot.
