JF1ZCAC18D16002xx

For people who care, I looked up what the VIN means. And here goes.

JF1 is the Subaru WMI. It stands for Japan -> Fuji Heavy Industries -> Passenger Vehicle

Z is for the Line Type.

C is for the Body Style.

A is for Engine Type.

C is for the Model.

1 is for the Restraint Type. 1 means no passive restraint.

8 is the Check Digit.

D is the Model year.

1 is the Assembly Plant and Transmission Type. Oddly enough on that website it's supposed to mean FWD 5MT from SIA in Lafayette, Indiana.

6002xx is the Vehicle Production Sequence.

Apparently 610001 and after is the start of the Legacy Station Wagon Outback so a little odd to start BRZ's at 600001.

It is going to be interesting to get more VIN's posted so we can see how the numbers differ with Premium/Premier/Limited/Sport Tech/Transmission Types/Colours, etc.

I wonder how many "You typed Colors wrong." are going through people's brains right now.

Also, I ordered Satin White Pearl 6MT Sport Tech (Limited) so people don't need to go back and look.
