And how quaint that the word "Category" is incorrectly spelled no less than FOUR times on the one screenshot featured.. Come on Toolmonger.. its a crappy looking package and has another contributor has already noted.. a simple spreadsheet would work just fine.. Where did you dredge this POS up from?? Duncan.

When filling up with gas, or doing any repairs he always maintained a written record of it. It is an easy way to track everything from fuel mileage to repeat failures. I like a small spiral notebook with a pocket for part receipts and insurance card. I also write down all the vehicle's important info in it and can bring it with to the autopart supply houses, not always easy to remember which car your getting parts for (down to only 7 cars/trucks right now). For $16 one could easily set up their own excel sheet. My dad always had a “book” in all of his cars. When filling up with gas, or doing any repairs he always maintained a written record of it.
