Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hey everyone - new member with a new (to me) 996TT. I wanted to start collecting documentation with all the recent purchases to replace parts on my car that have worn out. What method are you using to collect receipts in an orderly manner (without just dumping them into a shoebox)? Would love to see some ideas.
There�s an app called VINWiki that�s perfect for this. It allows you to upload pictures and scanned documents or to just make a post, all of which are tagged to the VIN and become searchable records.
There is also a free service on CarFax, and you can set up service reminders for oil changes, inspections, etc. you can also scan receipts and save them there as well.
I do both a hard copy in plastic sleeves in 3 ring binder, and online electronic.
Yeah this is handy especially when you just want to look something up. I use this app.

It will scan the pages and then combine them into PDF documents.
Then for the paper itself... filing cabinets and folders? Is there a new gadget for this?
My car came with no records and low compression in one hole. Every dollar I've spent since is documented in a three ring binder in clear plastic sheets. It lives in the frunk.
Shoebox...Come time to sell, put them all in a binder in chronological order. I actually use a plastic file

I take all invoices and related Porsche documentation to our special collections library to be photographed for microfilm archive. I then take the microfilm and apply for cold storage in one of many federal facilities. Once I receive approval, I hire a armor transport company to deliver it to a secret federal agent that hand delivers it to the inventory specialist.
Ok... enough already... I throw them in a pile and shove them under my bed. Seriously.
I use a folder for all paper but I also made a one note document will all the infos on the services done by date and milage.
Other pages also include all the procedures I found on the forum that can be useful.
Here's an example of the note Im taking Ex: verifying the oil level each 1000kms.
I take in note each and every thing Im doing on the car with pictures, parts numbers, time, milage and so on.
I dont plan to pass it on to the next owner as I dont expect to sell the car but it has been more than useful for me. This type of file is also accessible pretty much everywhere.
Other than writing the oil change mileage inside the owner's manual back cover, I don't bother. Planning to keep the car until it and/or I die a fiery death; if the car lives and I don't, screw the next guy.
I keep all mine in a secret compartment between my ears, I will never loose them and nobody can access them.
The only external record is a little sticker on the upper left corner of the windshield, reminding me of next service due. I will never sell ,and records will be buried with me..
The original owner of my car included a binder that had the original window sticker, original sales contract, some magazine covers from the time and EVERY receipt for everything that was done to the car under his ownership. I quit saving car receipts years ago but in this case, I decided to continue what the PO was doing. I bought some empty binder sleeves and have continued adding things. I'll probably have to buy a second binder before my ownership is done.
