I alluded to this in another thread but want to open up a little bit about it.

Those of you that know me in the real world know that my day-to-day job includes some fairly advanced data analysis. It's more than just my job really because, if you ask my friends about me, I'd guess that 50% would call me a car guy and the other 50% would call me a data guy. It's just who I am and what I do.

A friend of mine, knowing my two passions (well, three if you include the Beatles, but i digress) has taken me inside a project he's working on that has given him (and now me) access to a massive amount of collector vehicle pricing and sales data. Some really interesting and comprehensive data over an extended period of time. Basically, his company has been asked to come up with ideas on how to monetize the data and one idea that's been kicking around is a subscription model. To that end, I've been playing with the data as it relates to our cars and I'm having the time of my life.

I'll be sharing some of my findings here in the near future but wanted to also ask all of you: If you had access to this kind of data, what might you go looking for? If you have any interesting or fun ideas, shoot me a PM. I'd love to hear them.
