Zipcar - Car sharing, cars by the hour or day

This is so like the shared community bike program they had at Hampshire. Except if they started up in 1999 this might have come first. Wonder what their association with the 5-college valley is, since they're rather conspiciously present in the small city / large towns of Amherst and Northampton. Could just be the colleges.

Makes me wish we lived in a real city. I went from living in a half-assed suburb (Wilton, ME - suburb of nothing, one hour drive from anything/everything) to living in a half-assed city (Los Angeles, CA - a city so poluted that nobody walks anywhere and its sprawling nature makes public transit difficult), guess I'm just a fool.
