I was wondering if anyone here knew of any Mac software that can do this:

� Detailed Maintenance and Repair Records:
� Predicts when maintenance and inspections are due
� Configurable maintenance/inspection requirements
� Valuable Car Care Tips section
� Automotive Systems Reference
� Automotive diagnosis and troubleshooting!
� Cost Analysis (cost/mile, cost/year etc)
� Track fuel usage
� Health gauge that monitors the overall condition of your vehicle
� Travel Log to track business trips
� Print out detailed beautifully formatted reports

This is from a software called Automotive Wolf (only for PC)

I am also looking for this type of software. Funny, the first thing I thought of was Auto Wolf and I really don't want to use it through Virtual PC.
