Experian Automotive has launched a consumer auto site, CheckMyRide.com, an online community for car enthusiasts.

The site, powered by Experian's AutoCheck vehicle history report, lets members map the whereabouts of the cars from their past, as well as to build, track and share their personal vehicle history. The company says it is essentially meant as a kind of Facebook for cars.

The site lets consumers upload pictures and comments to every car in their timeline; use a Where in the World is my Old Car? tool by entering their vehicle identification numbers to map out where their cars have been and where they are now; learn about their current car's story with a free AutoCheck vehicle history report; search and comment on other members' vehicles; and share and promote favorite cars with Facebook and Twitter.
