Hi.
I noticed some inaccuracies, and I want to make some changes:
1 - Lancia Rally '037 ':
We have listed the race version with the name 'Lancia 037 Rally':
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Lancia&model=037+Rally&modelMatch=1&modelInclModel=- on
the only pic we have of a street version was called 'Lancia 037 Stradale'
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_135270-Lancia-037-Stradale-1982.html
Actually the official name of this model was simply Lancia Rally, as you can see from the original stickers on the tail of this one:
http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/attachments/picture-room/45109d1158193240-mille-miglia-2006-4070-lancia-abarth-rally-rear.jpg
The number 037 was the Abarth internal body code, but this car is often nicknamed as Lancia 037 because the original name Lancia Rally seems too generic. In fact, the subsequent Lancia Delta S4 had 038 as Abarth internal body code, but no one nicknamed it with this number, because the name Delta S4 was most indicative.
It seems to me more correct to call the street version Lancia Rally [037], Class: Coupé, because the Italian word 'stradale' is commonly used for all not-race cars, but it would seem more correct to call the race version Lancia Rally [037], Class: Race Car.
Do you agree ?
2 - Husqvarna
I noticed we have listed some Husqvarna bikes as 'Model Origin: Sweden', and others like 'Model Origin: Italy', irrespective of the production.
Husqvarna Motorcycles has produced motorcycles in Sweden only before 1986, then 1987 to 2006 has been owned by the Italian Cagiva Group, and motorcycles were designed and built in Italy. Since 2007 it has been owned by BMW.
I think we should list all the Husqvarna produced from 1987 to 2010 as 'Model Origin: Italy', Do you agree with me ?
3 - Ferrari by Koenig
I noticed that between the Ferrari Testarossa pics, there are two pics of a modified version by Koenig Specials in Germany:
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_297451-Ferrari-Testarossa.html
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_306257-Ferrari-Testarossa.html
Curiously, both are part of animation movies, but this model really exists. The Koenig-Ferraris were not badged Ferrari because Ferrari did not grant permission to use its badge on modified cars. The Koenig-Ferrari badge was rectangular with a yellow background as the original Ferrari badge, but it had the KS logo instead of the prancing horse. The first step of the Koenig Testarossa (the white one) kept the name Testarossa, but the yellow one was the most advanced step, and his correct name was Koenig Competition Evolution.
I was wondering whether it would be better to list these two pics under a new brand Koenig.
4 - Suzuki Hayabusa
We have listed the Suzuki Hayabusa with two different names: 'Suzuki GSX 1300 R Hayabusa', and 'Suzuki GSX-R 1300 Hayabusa'.
In fact, this difference does not exist, the model is only one. The first series of this bike had a 'GSX 1300 R' sticker, but really it is called GSX-R 1300 everywhere, on price lists and magazines, because it is part of the GSX-R series, as its younger sisters GSX-R 600, 750 and 1000.
Do you think we can be listed all Hayabusas under the name GSX-R 1300 Hayabusa ?

All these changes seem fine to me
Only thing is about the "race car" class: I prefer use it for F1 and other special-body cars, not for those who have a very similar body to the factory version. So I'd rather keep the Lancia as coupé for both race and street version.
There are lots of "errors" in bike names like that, often a part of the bikes are listed with the number before the name, and the other part are listed with the number at the end. Feel free to make the bike listings more coherent between different models of a series; from time to time when I notice cases like that I fix them.
If you need to make mass-change according criteria, it is faster if I do it on the server directly, e.g. for the country according to the year for the Husqvarna (except if you prefer check them one by one).

Thank you. I ran all the changes except the one about the Suzuki Hayabusa. I noticed that too often the name GSX 1300 R is used on the Net, and I decided that it might be more correct to leave it listed this way. However I have merged all the Hayabusas.

I hate to jump on the administrators so quickly, but when I showed a link to a similar late-1940's Dodge, somebody misidentified it as a convertible, when it's actually a sedan:

Well here's another error; The 2006 teen movie spoof "Totally Awesome" was actually a made-for-TV movie, instead of a feature film:
http://www.imcdb.org/movie.php?id=485161
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0485161/combined
And for the record, it was anything but Awesome, but it was still better than "Not Another Teen Movie."

Now, here's another one: The make and model are right, but the class is wrong.
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_230639-Ford-N-Series.html
The truck is listed as a simple truck, when it should be listed as a Trailer truck.

I made a big mistake myself recently. I identified this taxicab as a 1968 Ford Custom:
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=488311
Now, I think it's actually either a 1969 or 1970... and I'm leaning more towards the '69.

It is not a so "big" mistake, just one year off
I changed it, but alternatively you could simply add a second comment

There are a lot of Chevy Novas that should be changed. Anything from 1962-68 should really be listed as model "Chevy II Nova". There is another thread about the 1968 models, since it was the only year of the run that used Chevy II, the 1969-72 years were Novas. At the very least, the 62-67 years should be changed.

Done.
So what do we do with the 1968?
Also, I suppose that some listed without year are actually in the 1962-1967 range?

I went through most of the Novas without years last night, and renamed some as Chevy II. There were also a few listed as Nova that were plain Chevy II (the 2-door sedans). There were too many in the early years, and I figured it was easier for you to rename them by batch. We need some opinions on the 1968. Some may actually be other years, but are marked 1968 since that was the first year of that style.

Wow, this has to be either a huge joke, or a severe error. Somebody listed a 1967 Ford County Squire station wagon in the 1968 movie "Bye Bye Braverman." as being made in the former Soviet Union:
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_379186-Ford-Country-Squire-1967.html
As for the distinctions between the 1968 and 1969 full-size Fords, the '69's are slightly more aerodynamic. I just realized that roughly around the time I posted that '69 in the episode of That Girl with that particular cab.

USSR comes after USA in the origin list, someone probably was to choose USA as origin but accidently clicked USSR.
I would recomend that you use the comment section on the said vehicle for such correction.

I think we should add Zaporojetz to ZAZ model name 965 . Becaose theres a badge on the front, so 965'th were Zaporojets too, as 966 and 968.

Italian-built Peugeot coupes and convertibles: as discussed at http://imcdb.org/yourcomments.php?allcomments&page=1 and bref's comment "All 404 and 504, Coupé and cabriolet were made in Italy. Like the 406 coupé", can these be block updated? 504 cabrio and 406 coupe have both been fully done so nothing needed, but 404 coupe, 404 cabriolet and 504 coupe are completely blank for Made in I.
