Each month I send out an email asking people to check their list of cars for accuracy, and also with information about the latest improvements to the site.

Invariably I receive a few dozen requests to be removed from the panel in response. Not many considering there are about 25,000 members. But still more than I care to see. 

The most common reason: not enough time to continue. (Usually from people who never responded to the brief surveys.) The next most common: just not interested in the information I’ve been working so hard to provide. Thanks…

To be fair, I receive quite a few more responses thanking me for developing the site. But it’s in my nature to focus on the first group.

One very good thing about this email: it reminds people to add new cars. I tweaked it a bit this month. And the response was huge: 202 cars were added on Tuesday (a daily record), and another 175 were added yesterday.

Last month I announced that the panel would pass the 30,000 vehicle mark in June. Looks like it will also pass the 31,000 mark before the month is over.

And in August: results for about 150 models.

Those of you who have been making this possible, thanks, I truly appreciate it.
