Lightbulb An interesting concept of car co-ops
I saw this article on Topix (http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/T4UOLV5OK30Q7AE76) about shared car ownership through lonelygarage.com I just thought that it was an interesting concept, and thought that I would share it...

Hmm..

I don't know about that. I feel like one person might have more of a control.
Beside, one might just run away to Mexico with the car.

Is like letting your drunk cousin borrow your brand new pick up and he returns with it on the back of a tow truck using your AAA members card and gives you a bag full of interior trim parts....

^ You make it sounds like this has happened to you? But now I can finally legally drive all the Ferrari's I like instead of stealing them and then ditching them in the Mon river!

But seriously; it could work. This is just an idea they took from the private aviation world. Two or three guys in the same general area own one really nice plane.

My personal plan is to work hard, be successful, and buy my own frikkin Ferrari, and various other demi-exotic autos. That way, I won't hafta *schedule* a night out, PIMPIN'!
