Hey guys, if you liked the car featured in the video at the top of this post, here is another sweet '32 roadster on RideCache that you might enjoy seeing. This is John Joyoprayitno's recently completed dream roadster. John did the voiceover on the video of the purple '32 featured by Ryan at the...

I can't speak specifically to Patina, but what we found with other car sites - and the reason we created RideCache - is that most are either covered with ads, are focused primarily on social and sharing or are trying to create a marketplace to buy/sell cars. We felt there was a need for a...

Yes, a lot of people are using RideCache to show their vehicles to prospective buyers. Their RideCache essentially becomes the web page for their car. Once you are on your cars main RideCache page, you can simply copy the URL and email or text it to anyone who can then view any info you have...

RideCache is a web application, which means that you access it directly from your web browser with no need to download or install anything from the app store. Just open your browser and go to ridecache.com to get started. One you are logged in, you can easily add an icon to your home screen so...

For those of you who were (justifiably) bothered by the "stylized" version of our wrench icon, we are working on a more accurate version. Here is a preview, let me know what you think!

I am an Evernote Premium subscriber and use it daily for many things. Before RideCache, a combination of EN and spreadsheets was how I tried to manage my collection. In my experience, the effort it took to try and customize EN to meet my needs was a lot of work and left me wishing there was a...

Yes, we looked very hard for a complete international year/make/model database and this is the best we have found so far. You can find fairly complete US versions or European versions, but none that cover both well (and that is before you even start thinking about Eastern Europe and Asia). So...

Dennis - good job on the FB page - really nice. I originally tried documenting my car builds on FB, but just on my main page. My 15 car friends really liked it, but it annoyed all the rest. Doing a dedicated page like you did is definitely the way to go if you are going to do this on FB...

Thanks for the feedback and I agree. I personally prefer to just type my dates in rather than use the calendar date picker, but some like the calendar so we offer both. Our intent is to have the calendar only appear if you click on the little calendar button next to the field, but in the...

onewheat - for most of the fields where we provide preset drop down lists (make, model, part categories, etc) - if you don't find what you are looking for in the list, you can type your own entry into the field below. So for the rat rod example you could pick a year (I know even that is...

OK, glad you got past this, but sorry it tripped you up. We are working all the time to try and make things as easy as possible and remove obstacles like this one you hit. We support a wide variety of upload sources, but don't currently upload directly from a URL. I will add that capability to...

No, RideCache is a fully released product, you certainly should not have lost anything. I can help you, but I will need to know your username or email address. If you want to PM those to me I will see what is going on with your account and respond. One possibility - for your first vehicle...

Thanks for all the great feedback - it is really appreciated. Your points about social are well taken. For us it is about priority and focus - especially early in the development of the service. We want to make sure we are primarily focused on delivering the absolute best tool for enthusiasts...

I can't speak specifically to wheelwell, but what we found with other car sites - and the reason we created RideCache - is that most are either covered with ads or are focused primarily on social and sharing. We felt there was a need for a professionally developed software tool that was focused...

Thanks Ryan for the shout out! We have built RideCache to be a serious tool for those that invest a lot in their vehicles and want to better organize, manage and preserve all the work. Think of it as a clean, digital version of all the detail behind your build thread - fully secure and privacy...
