Haha, looks like Supra communities (I asked the same question on another forum) are more than others unwilling to know what they spend on their cars Like I said, there will always be people who do not want to bother, and some group (likely minority) who will track every penny. I think it is not as much about the money as it is about the type of brain you have

Hahah, clearly it comes down to the type of person each of us is. Some do (and always will) gather the data, analyze it, make lists, etc. (that's me) - while others hate that (my wife, for instance ). I just want to know how much (in general) this or that car costs me. How much of this are repairs? and fuel? what are the average monthly spendings? average cost per mile driven? total cost of particular modification project? and so on. I can relate to this, TOTALLY... Personally, I like tracking category of each transaction (whether it was maintenance, repair, mods...) but at the same time I want to know if that were fuel, parts, a 3rd party service and so on. To complicate further, I sometimes bundle a number of transactions into 'projects'... Because of this I cannot switch to some nice app and get rid of the spreadsheets so far. And even though they are pretty cumbersome to use, all the apps I tried were not even close to what I was looking for (most of them is focused on fuel consumption )

Hi guys! I am pondering creating an app for tracking car spendings. For a proof of concept, I would love to learn what are your habits here. It would help me a ton if you could just dedicate 3-5 mins to answer the questions below: 1. Do you write down somewhere car-related transactions? (if no - just answer NO and that's all I need If so - please answer YES and go to 3 more questions below) 2. What kind of spendings do you write down? (all of them, or maybe just fuel, or just major works, or...?) 3. What tool do you use (Excel, some mobile app, web service...?) 4. For what purpose do you use the collected data? (is it getting back to the information on what was done to the car & when? is it to compare two or more cars in terms of cost generating? for personal budgeting? any other reason?) Any input highly appreciated Chances are good, this will contribute to creating something cool and useful

Hi guys & gals! My name is Iwo, living in Warsaw, Poland. Currently I am driving a BMW 335i, which I love. Nevertheless, I do appreciate (and have owned) cars from various manufacturers/niches as long as the people behind them can be callled 'enthusiasts' (I actually used to have a 2JZ-GTE, although in a Lexus GS300 ). Anyways, I came over, because of some research I am doing. Hopefully, you guys would be kind enough to share some of your thoughts with me More on that in the relevant topic, though. Cheers! Iwo
