Anyway, about what you said above, I guess that imcdb could have link with agencies, car owners, etc. But imagine the work that it would represent... I really do not have time for that, even if it would allow to earn money

I was trying to remember who was the the other admin, now I remember he just uses IMCDB, sorry for confusion.
(I just went and looked for the first post EVER, and there you have it. Now I feel very dumb!)

Why Bebert rather than the others?

Do you think or does anyone have personal experience with film professionals about seeing IMCDb as a quick-comparison tool for movie makers seeking vehicle sourcing solutions? Someone could find a film and say "I want to use that car!" and make a few communications to make it happen. Placing recognition of the rental agency on the film's main page on IMCDb could add value to the productivity of these professionals.
I don't see any major cooperation between these professionals and the site, other than when a current owner wishes to sell his or her vehicle. Secondly, knowing where to look if the name of the agency was made public may remove most of the fun and trivia that exists here.
Many if not most film use vehicles are not owned by rental companies, and could be sought through the use of "casting calls" made to owners clubs in preparation for filming.
Of course if the site ever did go "corporate" as a link between studios and car companies we would see posts by undercover employees paid to promote a specific film or car. The End.
That's all. I doubt any of this dribble is useful as is, but may ignite a few thoughts and show what could happen if the site goes down the corporate path.
Good work, Antp and Bebert as always!
