VIN# Gets an asterisk?

So, does anyone know why a vin gets an asterisk on a booked ship's manifesto? Are they gonna be tossed overboard?

The asterisk means that your car has been waitlisted. Check back in a day to see if it got resolved. You can click on your vin number and you should see an explantion

I can't tell you why, but I can tell you that I'm glad you spelled asterisk the right way. I can't tell you how many people I know who call it an asterick. My wife calls it an asterick just to annoy me.

Amen! A pet peeve of mine ... One among many. I guess that's why the "obsessives" hang out here.

I'm a "grammar-****"

I admit it. It's kept me in a couple very good positions with a couple bosses, as their personal proof reader.
I always remembered what my 5th grade grammar teacher told me, "Never end a sentence in a preposition," so I'm not going to.
