We hit 200+ checked cars! I've started hiding the clear ones at the top of the list, so your scroll wheels don't break : )

I also got an Ip switcher from work, should be able to hit 15 more/day if it works later today.

I knocked out 29 today! booya!

Also figured out a glitch in the captcha, someone confirm that this works too:

1. Enter incorrect code and click search
2. Click back button and enter the new code correctly and click search
3. Now when you click the back button, the captcha won't switch

You might have to give it a correct code for the first search, I haven't tried the short version as above yet

This is the problem with their 24 hour clock. I didn't have time until the evening the other day and did five, then I tried the next morning and got rejected. It would be nice if they just reset their clock at midnight their time every day then you could do it at any time each day.

I hear ya. I've been recording the time of my searches in the free column, so I can jump in the next day when I can. I understand we all have personal lives too

Did 5 (including my car...). I made an error when I was typing (M coupe pages) and the cursor jumped onto line 416 and the final two numbers in a VIN got deleted. sh_t. sorry. i am not sure how to search the masterlist to know what the numbers were so I was hoping stig or someone else with the list could replace.
Will keep entering cars as the thing will let me, and I dont plan to delete any more.

No Probs, I'll fix it. You can click "undo" you know.. or CTRL+Z to fix a mistake like that. Search with CTRL+F

You guys remember this story?
http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=700123
The forum member was "sho-one" I am not sure if he is still on. I doubt it 'cause he sold the car, and then the car got hammered while he had it back as a loaner.
I don't know the VIN on the car, and now the pic has been removed from the thread, but it was a crazy story. I don't know if it was damaged badly enough for a salvage title but it was hit pretty hard. That is a black M coupe with at least a damage disclaimer...

If you click on his username in that thread and view his Public Profile, then click on the Statistics tab you'll see that he was here just a few days ago on 4/16.

I added protection to the spreadsheet cells of some of the salvage cars we found, to reduce the risk of someone maliciously deleting our work

once a year sounds reasonable, but I'd like everyone to add salvaged/crashed car anytime they identify it. Sometimes I run simple google searches, sometimes I check cars on Ebay since it auto checks the vins. Sometimes someone on the forum here posts one
