Cars expensive

Useful little tool

This app is great for predicting how much money having a car will cost you. There are some variables that it includes into the cost of owning a car that I still don’t quite understand (more details about what they are, or references to find out more, could be useful features) but it’s all there and takes out all the confusion.
