isn't there supposed to be a VIN number on the front dash, driver's side, right where the windshield meets the dash?

I just got pulled over and the cop was looking for the VIN and couldn't find it. And he got a little pissy. Supposedly there has to be a VIN visible from the outside of the car.

My temp tag had fallen off. I had not even noticed until he pointed it out. So i showed him the bill of sale that i had. I suppose he though it was suspicious. So he went looking for the vin...which he had to eventually get off the the door sill.

Which means i had to get out of the car and get searched (which is always fun). Then he ran the VIN to see if it was stolen, and the DMV computers were down. So i got a warning ticket for not having a tag on the car (which he told me to just throw away).

yea, he had reason. I just wish i had known to pull up the wiper blade to show him the VIN

i need to look at the car and find it specifically, but most vins are higher on the dash. Like actually attached to the dashboard...way above the wiper. Until i can take a look at my car again (at work now) i'm going to be confused about how both of us missed it.
