Initial Proposal: A website/market place that could allow people to post requests for specific car parts that they might need and for other parties (junkyards or people with totaled vehicles) that could bid against each other to sell at the lowest prices.
Environment Setup:

You can use the -f flag to delete these changes. If you want to save them, you can copy them somewhere or maybe use git stash. git checkout -f main do a git pull from the main branch git pull origin main
