Car Finder

Course project for Coursera's Developing Data Products

Tring to find the perfect car?

• There are plenty of websites that offer car searches
• But nothing as sophisticated as what you'll see in a moment
• What if you could specify specific requirements like the following:
  • gas mileage
  • horse power
  • transmission
• And then see a list of matching cars in seconds

Well, there's a Shiny app for that
