Zipcar is My Friend
I walk everywhere; when I'm not walking, I'm riding the bicycle. When I'm not riding the bicycle, I'm on the bus. When I can't do any of those things, I stay at home wishing I could go somewhere. But those things can only get you so far.
I don't want to own a car. I think car insurance is basically a scam, wasting all the money you haven't already spent on fuel, parking tickets, and parking garages.
But then Zipcar came along, and changed everything. Because they take care of insurance, gas, and everything else except the driving, I can feel like a car owner (i.e., I can get out of town when I want to) without all the attendant hassles of car ownership. I can see my family without being told by rental car people that the weekly rate is much better; I can go see friends who live across the bay without spending 2 hours on a gas-belching behemoth city bus. And I can do this in a small, hybrid-electric vehicle that makes me feel good about personal transport.
Now if Zipcar would just expand into cheap, pre-insured sailboat rentals, everything would be perfect.
