I'm tossing around the idea of making an uber program for logging your car stuff, mods, price, when you got it, maintenance records, stuff like that.

I'll make up a GUI here soon. Do you think it's a good idea?

I'll working on this, it's gonna be awesome lol

Anyone have specifics they wanna see in it? (not sure if anyone will use it since you can get it on your smart phone... but lol)

I want it more designed for the racing people. So most of those apps are leaning more towards daily drivers.

I personally use the Car Maintenance Reminder Pro app to keep track of the regular stuff on my 2 cars. It's good about popping up reminders when you're getting close to needing something changed/cleaned and you can set how many miles/months you want to perform the maintenance. More than anything I use it to keep track of when/how much I fill up on gas and it auto-calculates the mileage you got between tanks for you. About the only thing it doesn't have that I'd like to see are what popo suggested above on mods and such.

I'm trying to give it a cool look, but I can't find any icons for free. I found these but you have to pay for it...

Rule #1 of hotrodding.. never keep hard copies of costs. LOL. They can be used against you in a court of divorce :D

Yeah, should be done in a month or so, I don't work on it much, just as night when I'm bored. I started the GUI but I didn't do any real coding yet. Really all I need to do is set up the databases then add user fields inside each menu, shouldn't take too too long. Sneak peak below lol
