I personally don't think that I will personally sell anything from the website, I just leave that to those that do that better than I can ever do.

But I do have a few automotive parts sellers that advertise on the website. I allow one advertisement at the bottom of each page away from the users vehicle information. These advertisement are for automotive parts sellers that I get a small stipend from any sale that originates from the CarBaron.com website. I checked out each advertiser before I allow any ad on the website.

That's how I can offer the website for free to anyone who wants to use it. I get the advertisers to offset any cost that I incur hosting the website.

I finally received my new logo that I had professionally made for CarBaron.com to better reflect the website.
I hope everyone likes it also. Any opinions about the new logo below?

I'm always leery of putting things in cyberspace; once it's there, it stays there. I have files that I routinely stick my papers in, and they are very accessible, so I guess I don't really need this, but good luck!

I can understand how people can be leery of putting any information in cyberspace like popular social websites.
All information that is stored in CarBaron.com can only be accessed by the account holder with the correct login information. And the only information that CarBaron stores for all practical purposes is pretty useless information to everyone except to the person who's information it belongs to. I mean does anybody really care how much John Doe paid for a set of brake pads that he put into his Volvo last month?

I keep a detailed list on both our cars and our home. The latter being great now since we are actually going to become landlords and rent the place out while we move into a larger place for ourselves. A way to view this info online via laptop or cell would be useful though.

I finally finished the first phase of adding a new feature to the CarBaron.com website.
You are now able to calculate your miles per gallon of your vehicles.
I will be adding more features to this phase soon.

I wanted to get this feature all coded up sooner but with a full time job it was a little hard to find the time to code it all up.

I just updated the fuel stats section of the website. You are not able to keep track of your fuel costs and also calculate your vehicles miles per gallon.

Are you supposed to keep track of all that stuff? Wow. My mom doesn't keep track of anything, so I haven't, either. Maybe I should start now, so I will know what I'm doing when I get my own car.

Lol...no, your not supposed to keep track of all the stuff I have listed.
The options are there for some real automotive buffs. You will be suprised what people keep track of on their cars.
For me I basically keep track of the basics so I don't have to look up part numbers when I need parts for my car (ie oil filter numbers, spark plug numbers etc).
I alway enter all of my service records. It comes really handy when you need service done.

I just added the ability to add your automobile insurance information. I thought maybe that would be handy to have at your finger tips if you need to contact your insurance company at a moments notice (i.e. accident).
I just added the fields of insurance company name, your agent telephone number, insurance telephone number and your policy number.
If anyone thinks that I should add more fields please let me know.
