Car Sharing

yes yes, you pay a hourly rate of $7.50 to $12 to drive a car, supposedly government loves it because its supposed to cut down on traffic.

How does it work, there are cars located at specific spots in the city, if they are not in use you can drive, supposedly the attracters say it cuts down on traffic and is cheaper to drive then a car which they say cost ($708) a month to drive? huh?

okay this is just the lamest idea ever, I guess they do it in europe so somehow its supposed to work in the commuter hell of america.

First off convenience factor, there is none, this system only works for urbanites who sit in their lame apartments all day long and never get out. Second you can get a decent car with 30+ mpg with liabilty insurance and its only gonna cost you maybe $150 a month to drive. Third if your that desperate about gas and maintenance all that other crap, then get something better then a stupid rent a car, get a motorcycle.

Finished with my rant this is the most Stupid Idea Eva!!!!

They had a few stations for them at the wamu tower in seattle where I worked last summer, they where always rented out, so some people seem to like them.

its a good idea/compotition for rental cars, I dont like the idea of not driving my own car, but for someone who does not care or is in need of a car for a few hours, its great.
