Members saving huge junks of data to their account – possible?

Hello,
for an upcoming project I need the possibility for members of the project website to be able to save data sets (let's say cars, identified by their serial number, with a long list of specs for each individual car).
Is that feasible with the Perch Members App?
As far as I understand, all data a member inputs, is stored in the memberProperties field (except for their e-mail and password). How much data can that field hold. And is it at all reasonable to use the Members App in such a way?
Thanks for any insights. Nils.

That field can hold a lot, but it might not be the best way to do it. A custom app to handle the listings might be a better way to go. Members is primarily concerned with account management and authentication, not adding content.

That's what I suspected. Thanks for the clarification, Drew.
