I still don't get it. TinyURL gets a url and makes it smaller, how is this TinyURL for your car?

  TinyURL is a short URL that takes you to some piece of information on the web. This is a short URL that takes you to information about your car. I found the name confusing at first, but I can see the logic behind it.

    How about just "get a URL for your car"?

      Why are people so hung up on the url? What's important is the information that you can access. Its like describing Facebook as a set of urls for people

        Perhaps because without nothing is useful if you don't know where to find it?

          I wish there was some search engines on the web

        Exactly, isn't the entire webs just urls for resources? TinyURL has nothing to do with it.

  I agree the connection is weak. The similarity is that both services provide a short URL for a resource. In the case of TinURL, it is a longer URL. In the case of gping.io, it is your vehicle. Gimme a mulligan on the tagline and I promise to come up with something better :)
