Digital Garage

A Garage That Remembers.

Every car leaves a trail: receipts, photographs, a list of jobs nobody finished. Most of it lives in a shoebox. The garage is our idea for keeping it in one place — one page per car, the work in the order it happened, and the whole thing handed on with the keys.

What works today

What is a concept

  • No accounts, vehicle records or photo uploads exist.
  • The two cars below were invented for this page. Nobody owns them.
  • Nothing on this page is saved anywhere. The only thing you can send us is feedback.

Vehicles

Two invented cars

Everything below is an illustration.

What adding a car would involve.

There is nothing to click here. If the garage existed, this is all it would ask of you.

  1. Name the car.

    Year, model and body. Nothing you would have to look up twice.

  2. Say where it is.

    Running, resting, or in pieces on a bench. The record is more useful when it is honest.

  3. Start writing things down.

    One entry per job, one photograph per entry. The order is the point.

Finding a car you no longer own.

The garage holds the car you have. The registry is the other half of the idea: the car you had, described from memory, waiting for whoever has it now.

A search would take a year, a model, a colour and whatever else you remember. There is no field here, because there is nothing to search. There are no sightings, and no record of where any car was last seen.

Where Is It Now?

Saved Items

Nothing is saved, because there is no account to save it to. These are the kinds of things the garage would keep.

  • A story you want to read again.
  • A part number you keep losing.
  • A photograph of a car that looks like yours.
  • A gathering you would like to get to.

Envisioned

  • One page per car, with the work in the order it happened.
  • Photographs kept beside the job they belong to.
  • Parts and paint linked to the reference pages, not retyped by hand.
  • A record that survives the sale, if the seller wants it to.
  • VWX will not authenticate a vehicle, and will not share anyone's contact details without their consent.

  • Would you keep the record of your car here?
  • What would you want to hand to the next owner?
  • What would make you close the tab?

Where Is It Now?

You sold it. You watched it go. Somewhere out there it is either a barn find, a show car or a memory. The owner registry is our idea for closing that gap: past owners write down what they remember, present owners write down what they have, and the two find each other only if both agree.

Community.

The best thing about these cars is the people who stop to look at them. The idea is somewhere to keep the conversation that happens in a car park: what you fixed, what has you beaten, and who is driving where. None of it exists yet. We would rather show you the shape of it than pretend it is busy.
