I wouldn't say they were "extra cars"....all that the new VIN lists will show is consecutively numbered units. So, for example, if agency X ordered 10 cars, and the list shows 12, the "extra" 2 could be random, regular production coupes on either end of the order (first 2, last 2, or 1 and 1), or an order that was made for 2 cars (beginning or end) that was consecutive with the other order.
I keep hearing about the "piggybacking" of orders, but it really doesn't seem like that could happen. The county paid for their cars; the state paid for theirs. It would have been a nightmare to somehow commingle the two. You can check out the VINs, though, once I get them all posted and linked.
