Is the underlying concept, to generate leads for the car dealerships where you going to test drive at ?

That's kind of the idea. These leads would be very high quality, since consumers would actually have to visit the dealership. My target for the leads is primarily the manufacturers, not the dealers - but both are interested.

This is an MVP. Just getting started, dealers want to see interest before they will offer a paid test-drive.
