One time this was a car that I wanted to import to CZ and drive it like a boss. What a silly idea

I got quite interesting idea of future update. What about adding car commercials to vehicles? They could be listed by the country they were released in and a year. Year could be yellow so we can look to all commercials of that year, could be sorted by countries for better clarity.
I badly photoshoped my idea:

Car commercials is what? Advertising (video? paper?)?

Rinspeed wrote
Yeah, video advertising. I prefer word commercial (US english), but it is the same.

good idea

Rinspeed wrote
Thx

If we add links to youtube video commercials, will we not get in trouble with copyright?

we are just sharing soneone's video like on Facebook, the uploader of the youtube video might have problems.

Perhaps we can resume the ideas for Webcarstory? Because i don't remember all.

i don't know when i will do them. When i work, i don't have motivation for that and for holiday i'm not always at home (like now). But at least it will be done this summer (because if i hadn't do before, each summer, i had 2 month of holiday).

I thought teachers had lots of free time It doesn't matter if you can't immediately implement ideas, as there is plenty of other work on Webcarstory anyway, and good ideas take time

There are few intersting ones on EU spec Ford Escort cabrio page.

There are also ideas on 2015 IndyCar and 2015 V8 Supercars pages

Thanks and Merry Christmas to all

It's not a competition JFK

To not fill other pages with ideas, I will post my idea here. Secondary, tertiary and quaternary categories could be added. These would have things that makes the car trully special (3 new categories with exact same thing in it, because cars can have more special things about them). Also you could find all cars with certain ability and see them all at once.
The things you can add to each car would be for instance:
6 wheels
Amphibious abilities
Long production run (VW Beetle, Lada, 2CV, Mini)
Movie/TV show car
Song is about this car (worldwide examples - Little Deuce Coupe, 409, Hey Little Cobra, One piece at the time, examples from Czech Republic- Embéčko, Cadillac, Felicia...)
Wankel engine
Turbine engine
Gullwing doors (other crazy styled doors like Bond Bug´s mono door openable upwards and BMW Z1´s downwards sliding doors included)
Three-wheeler
Car is longer than 6 meters (I guess you dont see many of those even in USA)
Pop-up headlights
Gas guzzler (average fuel consumption over maybe 15 liters)
Flying car (yes, even these are on site)
Plastic body (Vettes used to have it (or maybe still have it, I dunno), Trabant is famous because of it - "How can you make 12 000 guitar pics at one moment? Crash a Trabant.")
2-stroke engine

And so on, and so on.

Maybe it's an idea to remove those draggable pictures from the homepage? They don't really serve any purpose and all the cars in them are at least 5 years old.

I agree.

Me too.

That's originally a German magazine ("Chrom und Flammen") I read it too, but nowadays only used ones that I buy from the flea market.

I got all issues from 2000 for Christmas to expand my collection.
