While I was in San Francisco I noticed a few different car sharing services, ZipCars and Flexcar. After looking them up it seems pretty cool and a good idea. If I was living there, I probably would not want to own a car so they have shared cars, that you get a little card for and can use as they are left at specific places across the city.
Just thought it was a neat way with people only needing cars on certain days or for only a few hours at a time. Thoughts? Anyone seen anything like this elsewhere? -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

i'm not really certain where i see the benefit of something like this... depending on how much it costs i guess. i'd be pretty pissed if i drove my shared car somewhere, went into a store for 5 mins, then came out and it was gone. just seems like it wouldn't be too reliable.
