Personal Vehicle Manager 2005 can be sampled and bought at the Pocket PC Thoughts store for $24.95. However, for the next few days, you can try to win your own copy of the software. The rules are pretty straightforward: if you would like to be a part of this contest, all you have to do is (a) post which vehicle you have (or would like to have), and (b) talk about one feature of your vehicle that you really love. The competition will end this coming Friday at 6:00PM PST [GMT -8:00], so get your posts in quick! When the contest has finished, ten lucky winners will be picked using strict quantum algorithms. A big thank you to Two Peaks Software for allowing Pocket PC Thoughts to host the competition.
Update #1: Feel free to post a picture of your vehicle if you like. It'd be nice to see what we all have. But please keep it small. :-)
Update #2: The contest has finished. Any further entries will not be accepted.

I have a 2002 Pontiac Grad Prix GT, and my favorite feature is the Change Oil light. If not for that thing I would forget when to change my oil and would go for 6 or 7 thousand miles between. What this does is count the miles from my oil change, and when I approach 3,000 it lights up to let me know. After an oil change I reset the system and it starts counting again.
Very simple, yet oh so convenient. No more stickers on my windshield.
I drive a white 1994 Saturn SW2 station wagon. Booyah. :rainbowafro:
My sister drove it when she was in high school, and although I wanted a better car, I was destined to drive it simply because it was, as my family refers to it, and thus my favorite feature, it's "the plastic car." You see, the shell is literally made out of plastic. :lol: Very resistant to bumps, thus better for the high school parking/driving situations.
And I've had a few incidents in my two years of driving (note: none caused by me ), and only one big mark. Last year, the person who parked next to me at school (assigned parking spots) backed out, and apparently turned a little too soon, and hit my car slightly. Now most people would pull back in after that, but no, she kept going, leaving a 4 foot black mark on the side of my car. I was all ready to get her to pay (didn't know the girl, and rarely saw her in the parking lot), but my dad, the owner of the car, said just let it go, we'd try to remove the mark ourselves. Well we tried a few things, and that didn't work. And to this day, the mark is still there. :|
lol, picture of "the plastic car" coming Monday hopefully.
Nothing fancy, I have a 1998 Honda Civic. My favorite feature is its incredible reliability. I might end up driving it for another seven years, I don't know.
I have used a spiral-bound notebook to track gas milage, maintenance, repairs, etc. since the first car I bought for myself. This software and It's Excel export would be great!
I own a Suzuki Jimny 4x4 2003. It is the best 4x4 money can buy, economic on gas and maintanance. But the quality I love most about it it's the response this 4x4 shows on differents roads -unpaved- around the country side in Colombia.
2000 Ford Expedition. It's really not mine, it's my wife's (well, it's mine when the gas gauge is on the "E", or when it's dirty, or needs an oil change,.... 8O, etc)
My favorite feature on it is the glowing check engine light my wife just told me about... . :roll: .
