This page exists for one purpose: improving the accuracy of I Go Cars. The site is a reference built from primary documents, and the most useful message a reader can send is one that points to an error or to a document the site has not yet used.
What to send
Two kinds of message are welcome.
- Corrections. If a figure, date, quotation or production-status verdict is wrong, say which page it appears on, what the page says, and what the correct information is. A correction is far easier to act on when it names the document that supports it, such as a test book page, a statute section, a recall number or a manufacturer specification guide.
- Source suggestions. If you know of a primary document that bears on a page, such as an agency fleet report, a state surplus sale's terms, a court decision on speed measurement or a manufacturer's police order guide, a link or citation is welcome.
What makes a correction useful
The corrections that can be acted on quickly share three features. They are specific: they quote the sentence or figure in question rather than describing a page as generally wrong. They are sourced: they name the document, its date and, where possible, the page number or section. And they distinguish between kinds of error. A wrong number, a misattributed quotation, an outdated production status and a statute that has since been amended are different problems, and each is checked differently.
The most helpful sources are the primary ones the site already relies on: Michigan State Police and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department test books, manufacturer police specification and order guides, NHTSA recall reports, investigation records and training manuals, the current text of state statutes, published sale terms from a selling agency, and agency fleet audits or council reports. News articles and trade press are useful as pointers to those documents. Forum posts, auction listings and personal recollection are welcome as leads, but a page will change only when a document supports the change.
Every correction is checked against its source before a page changes. When a correction is confirmed, the page is updated and its date changes with it. When the evidence is mixed, the page may present both sources side by side rather than adopt one.
What this site cannot help with
I Go Cars is a publisher, not a service. It cannot help with any specific auction, lot or sale; it does not know which vehicles are for sale, cannot locate a particular car and cannot estimate what one is worth. It cannot help with a speeding ticket, a radar or lidar reading in a particular case, or a question about whether a device is legal in your circumstances. It cannot help with a title, registration, lien or decommissioning problem on a particular vehicle. It cannot give legal advice or refer readers to a lawyer.
Questions that fall outside the site's scope include whether a particular vehicle at a particular sale is a genuine police unit, what a specific vehicle's idle hours or service history are, how a court will treat a radar or lidar reading, how to clear a title brand or replace a lost government title document, and whether forfeiture of a vehicle can be challenged. Each of those depends on facts and records the publisher does not have and law the publisher is not qualified to apply.
For those matters, the right starting points are the selling agency's own sale terms, your state's motor vehicle department, the court or agency that issued a citation, and a licensed attorney in your state. The guides on this site explain how these systems work in general and cite the documents that govern them, but they cannot apply those documents to your situation.
A note on sales and services
The site sells nothing, offers no paid services, and is not affiliated with any agency, manufacturer, upfitter or auction platform. Messages offering products, link placements or sponsored content will not receive a reply. The site is not a government website, and messages sent here do not reach any police department or government office.
How messages are handled
The contact form below does not send anything to a server. It opens a message in your own email program, addressed to the publisher, so you can review it before sending. Messages are read by the publisher and used only to check and improve the site. Not every message receives a reply, and no response time is promised; checking a correction can mean locating and reading a long document, and that takes as long as it takes. Every correction that includes a source is checked, and a confirmed correction appears on the page itself, which is the clearest sign that a message was received and acted on.
