So a guy named 'joe' with an arab sounding voice told you there's no vin available? Either the guy doesn't understand english, doesn't know what he's talking about, or doesn't want to go out and write down the number for you. I wouldn't worry about it being stolen as much as I'd worry that its not at all what its advertised as...

talk about stereotyping

Seriously, guys... quit acting so damn immature. One dumb@ss American or even several hundreds in the past three years haven't changed my opinion of Americans. I still think Americans are generally great people. Sure, there is always the exception to the rule. The same goes for Arabs or any other nationality. There will always be individuals who you don't like, but the love of ***, don't hate everyone just because of your experience with one person. Why can't we all just get along?:lala:
