Yes, I agree, I'm about 10 years to late for the fight for cars in the US but you still have motorcycles, lawnmowers, tractors, and bikes and you've still got 3rd world countries for example Colombia S.A has one car website (that does about 45 million a year), one bike website (that does a couple million a year) and no dedicated motorcycle websites for selling new and used motorcycles.


So you could build a motorcycle website that sold both new and used motorcycles as well as the parts to fix them and the accessories to make them look cool by teaming up with dealerships in Colombia.


It's not so much the fight is over as it is finding the right angle.


For example Bajaj isn't in the US but they are like the third largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world, if you built a dealership website with all the parts and motorcycles for Bajaj in it you might be able to sell it to some dealerships in other countries.


You get it to making money and the slowly enter the US market or you get it to making money and retire.


The idea would be to sell websites to dealerships to support and fine tune the main site that would be like AutoTrader, Cars.com, or CarGurus except for motorcycles in a 3rd world country like Colombia. I say Colombia S.A because my wife is Colombian, has family in Colombia and I'm currently sitting in Colombia watching it rain.


Please point out all the things I'm missing cause I'd rather not waste time with the thought if it has as many problems as the US car market.
