I just noticed that Google Voice will offer to dial 914/6 VINs for you (assuming you have Chrome, and presumably only if you have Google Voice). Would be kinda nice if there was 914.043.1788 markup available which would link to the appropriate VIN database entry.

Just a thought.

Looks like it's working

and you will get this:

The periods aren't factory spec. Factory spec VINs are one long number.

Super cool Andy! Now I want to be able to add all kinds of extra info about my car on there...

Is 914 an area code?

Posted by: SirAndy Apr 19 2011, 11:36 AM

That's why i changed the code to accept them with or without dots and/or spaces ...

This should all work:

914.043.1788 - Dots

9140431788 - Just one long number

914 043 1788 - Spaces

914-043-1788 - Dashes

test w/ code in sig...

Yes, somewhere on the east coast.

I ran into that problem trying to scrape 914 related Ads from eBay and CraigsList. If somebody lists a 914 area code phone number, my script will happily return that Ad as well ...

It's Westchester County in NY.

When I wear my 914 shirt out this way I am often getting approached by hood rats that want to wax poetic about the home land of 914 New York

Not my thang, yo.
