VIN # Question
I'm finally expecting my Anthracite/Quartz 6spd/Navi on May 15th. I found a few threads on VIN numbers and I can "decode" my VIN number. My question is about the serial number: 19UUA65505A053XXX
I don't see how it's possible for my TL, with a build date of May 6th to have a serial number in the 53 thousands. Does this only include 6 spds? Do the serial numbers start over each model year?

Acura, since Oct. 04, apparently has sold 44k 3GTLs (some 04' + '05)... so, if your brand new car is gonna build next week and ship to your dealership two weeks after, 53xxx seems possible. IMO.

(And if you read the "colors" threads, just about every delivery truck loaded with TLs has one AM/Eb, but only about 1 truck in 5 has a Desert Mist. :-)

AM is very popular. However I'm a monotone type of guy...
NBP - very nice choice, looks great on the TL, just too difficult to keep clean
SSM - nice as well, just too common of a color for all cars in general
WDP - in Florida it seems 50% of cars are white
AM - always loved dark gray metallics, was originally planning on getting an Altima in a similar color
Thanks for the input guys. My serial number is actually 0539XX. Seems like a pretty big difference for just a few weeks.

Mine is 0376xx and it was built at the end of Feb'05. Can they built over 16,000 TLs in 2 1/2 months? This implies a TL production rate of 200+ per day.
