 * Hi,
 * Thanks for reading my question… 😉
 * I’m building a site that uses Custom Posts and Custom Fields to show a vehicle
   inventory. I would like the visitor to be able to filter the posts by Custom 
   Field or maybe by Taxonomy…
 * I already tried to make it work with the Query Multiple Taxonomies plugin. Works
   great but to prevent the dropdown list (i.e. Model) to become too long, I would
   like some dropdowns to be populated considering the first selection.
 * So when the visitor selects Manufacturer: Yamaha, the dropdown for Model should
   only show the Yamaha-models and not the Suzuki-models…;-)
 * I already did a lot of searching, car dealership, real estate, no luck so far.
   I can hardly believe I’m the only one looking for this.
 * Now I have 2 Custom Post Types: Motorcycles and Cars and a couple of Custom Fields
   to enter Manufacturer, Model, Color etc.
    For my first attempt I also made some
   Taxonomies the don’t share at the moment. If I have to, I can change that all
   but for now I don’t have a clue how to make this work… 😉
 * Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
    Thanks!
 * Kind regards,
 * Arne.
