The two things we are most fond of are undoubtedly technology and cars. So, when the two come together in a wonderful marriage, it is totally a win-win and something you would love to get your hands on.
Well, thanks to modern apps, it has become possible to shower your love on your car and there is no phone better than an iPhone to do that. There are a slew of apps that have been created just to get the best out of your car. While some car manufacturers such as Mercedes have started with their own apps and there are apps now available with almost every device you purchase, there are third party apps that are still worth it and provide you everything from car vitals, routes, traffic information to social networking access while driving.
So, without further ado, we present you with our top 5 apps for your car.
Dynolicious: Dynolicious is one of the best car apps out there. In fact, it is the best car app ever. The way it works is pretty simple.

It also creates a log of your car’s performance so that you can keep an eye on every part of your favorite hunk of metal.
In case you plan to show off what your car can do and what you can do with your car, well, this app makes it easy as heck. While its $12.99 price tag might be a tad heavy on the pocket, but it hardly matters if you love your car.
