Yesterday I was asking y’all on ideas for a Oppo app, as sort of a summer project.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Then to day in stats class, we learned, whatever the hell this is.

So I think I’ll try to make something that can do this, with x amount of variables, cars, etc. And it’ll tell you which is the best by your own criteria. (It’ll just ask a short questionnaire , about how preferable A is to C in X category)

I’ll also work on CBs idea, of a program that grabs a random car from Kijij/CL, but I’ll have it weigh cars by Oppo criteria. ie, manual, RWD or AWD, European, hatchback/wagon, old, “Ran when parked” etc. So that it won’t just give you old commuter cars all the time.

That also gave me an idea for one that searches CL descriptions and finds the one with the most “I know what I have!” etc.

If you can work in used cars of different ages, mileages and countries I’d be very impressed.

Once, during the great pre-historic time, someone wrote an online Jalopnik Score calculator .

I would start with CB’s idea. The hierarchy thing seems like it could get very complex very quickly.

The 00s really were a simpler time when not having an NA engine meant your car probably was fun to drive.

The real question is, given a set of stats like the above, which car is it talking about?

I don’t think it’d be too bad, just throw in some points for the couple dozen common euro companies. Age would be easy . I think cylinders would be good , but it’s pretty common for people to not include it in the official field. Although since they normally do that for generic comuter cars, maybe empty fields will detract weight, since they’re likely Corolla’s and such.

There’s a twitter account that finds every CL ad that says “I know what I have.”

It's @IKnowWhatIHave1

You could easily add in insurance cost and annual cost of ownership based on fuel mileage and expected maintenance.
