A rare driving companion experience in any ecosystem - launching today

Hello,
I’ve been working on a driving app called Speedometer: Driving Tracker for a while, and it recently got approved for CarPlay in the Driving Task category.

That approval process is surprisingly strict - very limited UI, no custom buttons, and a strong focus on safety; so getting through it meant a lot.

The app originally started as a simple speedometer, but over time, I expanded it into something more like a driving companion. It tracks trips, shows analytics, and tries to make driving data more visual instead of just numbers.

Some things it currently supports:

  • Trip tracking with detailed stats
  • Route playback (including 3D-style views)
  • Visual trip sharing
  • Fuel, maintenance, and expense tracking
  • Driving pattern insights and comparisons
  • Video recording with speed + map overlays
  • iCloud sync across devices and backup
  • Privacy-focused (no ads or tracking)

The idea is to offer something beyond what most built-in dashboards show, while still working within CarPlay’s limitations.

Would love to hear any thoughts or feedback.

80s Series Import

Hey guys! I am completely new to this topic of importing anything to California so i have some important questions. For context, I live in Socal and my grandmother lives in El Salvador. In 1990 my grandfather purchased a new 1990 Toyota Land Cruiser Turbo Disel 4x4 5spd in silver metallic with a grey interior and drove it for 10 years before passing in 2000. My grandmother has a chauffeur and doesnt drive so the truck has been sitting in her garage since the day my grandfather passed. Now that i am 21 and am handy around a wrench i am interested in flying to El Salvador and fixing ol girl up and driving her home to LA. Question is, What exactly do i need to have to register and daily drive the thing here? I want to avoid legal troubles at all costs so im figuring this out beforehand. Chatgpt says i should just call the dmv and ask but i was wondering if anyone had insight from importing a car into Cali, maybe even from El Salvador? Anways apologies for the longer post, thank you!

‘26 Miata RF GT 6Spd

Picked my new Miata yesterday. This is my third one The NA couldn’t handle the winters in PA. The NB fell to a craving for a Z4. Now being on the short end of my trip, decided to return to the fold. Now I just have learn how to get in/out of it all over. Might have to take a couple of yoga lessons! I do love it all over!
