So I stopped trying to help so it can rest in piece.

I've been working on an alternative almost everyday after work (some days fall asleep at the keyboard) to get something out there. I imagine I could have released a simple bare bones version by now, but I wanted to have everything so I didn't have numerous versions. An actually was gonna check with you as I took ideas from your wishlist. Is it a must have for vin searching? I've added the VIN field an one for horsepower already, just not searchable. I still have to workout editing comments, an started coding for activity stream. Still need to start the sideblocks an those importers people will be wanting.

Guess I should update my website with a more recent project.

I appreciate you working on this and if your plug-in has the ability to import everything (Cars, mods, pictures, business, etc.) from vbprogarage then I'd certainly consider it. Yes the VIN field must be searchable because what happens is someone buys a car and they want to know if the prior owner was a member of the website, what history of the car might already exist. If they can go into the garage and search by vin they can see if the car has been entered previously. In fact it would be a great feature if when someone tried to enter a new car and it's VIN matched a car already in the database it would ask if they want to add-on to the car's record and take over ownership of the vehicle in some way keeping a lineage of the car. That might be a bit much to ask for in your first version, but I think you see what I mean by that. So yes, in short the VIN# would have to be searchable which vbprogarage supported.

As for a HP field you better have a link for a dyno sheet along with that.

As far as photo uploads go, it would be nice to have the option of either discreet photos managed by the plug-in, meaning uploaded to some folder structure associated with the plug-in, or use VB Albums instead, or us VBGallery/PhotoPost member categories/galleries instead, or even use VB forum attachments. I dislike having photos uploaded via a variety of means and stored in a bunch of different places/ways.

I gave Dylan lots of input during the old CNDGarage/Timeslips days and even on up into vbprogarage.
