POLL: car locator

i have been doing alot of traveling lately, and i have seen several rx7s in peoples yards. i was wondering about maybe making a list on here so that everyone can see, to know where these cars are at. other people can add to the list of cars in their area, kinda like a "i saw one sitting here" type of thing. i know that will help some people that dont happen drive down a certain road. and i see lots of cars but i just dont have any money, and i figure some other rotorhead can stop by and pick up a new project.

would this be a good idea or a bad one? because we would need some sort of way to organize it, and i know that Texas is HUGE.

If your talking about cars for sale it's not a bad idea, however if someone isn't updating it on a regular basis lots of people are going to be running around looking for cars that aren't there.

There is a webapp, I can't think of the name right now that can be used to plot locations easily on a google powered map.

Bad idea. This would help theives locate idle cars. Unfortunately, we continue to see rotary looting in New Orleans.
