Joe's Automotive
Use the JoesAutomotive GUI application to get a quote for your visit to Joe's Automotive. The application allows you to select from a "Routine Maintenance" dropdown as well as a "Repair Hours" dropdown for any repair work. It is necessary to call or meet with a repair technician first to get a quote for the number of hours.

Parking Ticket Simulator
The ParkingTicket GUI application is used to issue a parking ticket. This application has five classes, ParkedCar, ParkingMeter, ParkingTicket, PoliceOffer, and ParkingTicketDemo. The application checks how long a vehicle had been parked against any purchased time. If the purchased parking time is less than the time the vehicle had been parked, the PoliceOfficer class issues a ticket. The ParkingTicket class reports the car's make, model, license plate number, officer name, fine amount, and details comparing parked vs. purchased time.

Ship, CruiseShip, and CargoShip Classes
The Ship, CruiseShip, and CargoShip classes work to store and print the ships' information. The Ship superclass holds information about a ship's name and its year built. The CruiseShip and CargoShip subclasses inherit the name and year built fields and add additional information. The ShipDemo class is to print each ship's name and year built and the CruiseShip's max. passenger capacity as well as the CargoShip's max. cargo capacity. This project encompasses inheritance, overriding methods, and honing the use of arrays.
