Well, to be honest, there really is nothing in the new release for the end users, yet. We expect to put in multiple cars/garages, if possible, before the release though. All of the current mods are to the benefit of the admin/site or performance and security.
I took a look at your suggestions. The idea of a blank image for users that have not posted a photo is a good idea.
As far as additional input fields and template mods for display of garages, I'm not sure where we will go. Additional input fields mean more database fields. That's not a big deal, but what ones to add is a big question when it comes to benefitting everyone. Then there is the premise of having copied someones private branch of the code. They customized to be different for a reason. So this is not an easy decision when trying to change the garage itself from the base offering.
Magnus has offered up his version of multiple garages. That will be to the benefit of the users. However I think the templating will continue to be offered as is the way magnus designed it with only enhancement where necessary in them if that comes up. The backend is the meat of what I'm taking on.
Having said that, there is no reason you can't have what you want. You could create a hack to add what you propose. Then you could have a thread for those of you interested in that code to support it.
We have all the tools we need provided by vbulletin.org now for such projects to be possible and succeed.
