A Fine Man Once Said:

"Part of the 10 million I spent on gambling, part of it on booze, and part of it on women. The rest I spent foolishly."

An Uptown Dandy & The Rake


Its always nice to have the last word - but, in this case, Beau James takes an entire page all for himself. In the latest edition of The Rake, I contribute a short piece on New York's Prohibition-era Mayor James J. Walker, noted dandy and general man about town. You can read more about His Honor here.

  1. Enjoy your column.
    But, find it difficult to read the blue type set against an olive drab background.
    But, this is common to the internet.
    So-called designers show they know nothing of color.
    The reason your blue & olive don't mix is something called "value" which is the amount of light & dark in color. See how the reversed-out white type jumps out from the olive?
    But, still for readability nothing beats black type on white.

  2. Your car could be stolen if you don't remember this!

    Consider that your car was taken! When you visit the police, they inquire about a particular "VIN lookup"

    A VIN decoder is what?

    Similar to a passport, the "VIN decoder" allows you to find out the date of the car's birth and the identity of its "parent"( manufacturing plant). You can also figure out:

    1.Type of engine

    2.Model of a car

    3.The limitations of the DMV

    4.The number of drivers in this vehicle

    The location of the car will be visible to you, and keeping in mind the code ensures your safety. The code can be viewed in the online database. The VIN is situated on various parts of the car to make it harder for thieves to steal, such as the first person's seat on the floor, the frame (often in trucks and SUVs), the spar, and other areas.

    What happens if the VIN is harmed on purpose?

    There are numerous circumstances that can result in VIN damage, but failing to have one will have unpleasant repercussions because it is illegal to intentionally harm a VIN in order to avoid going to jail or being arrested by the police. You could receive a fine of up to 80,000 rubles and spend two years in jail. You might be stopped by an instructor on the road.

    Conclusion.

    The VIN decoder may help to save your car from theft. But where can you check the car reality? This is why we exist– VIN decoders!
