Woot, Shampoo Banana is getting some Zipcars in the near future. It is basicly a car share program. When it gets up and running we will be looking to get rid of our car and just using that. Honestly the last time I used the car was Sunday afternoon for a couple of hours to get groceries, it has been sitting in the driveway ever since. Really, if you could save money by not having a car, and when you need one get to choose between a truck for hauling or a bmw for...looking cool or a prius for your green self wouldn't you? No car maintenance or depreciation. Gas is included in the rental, along with 180 miles a day, and insurance, rentals are usually $10 an hour to $70 for a 24 hour period. Reservations are made online or over the phone, your rental is guaranteed, you walk up to the car and put your membership card to the window, it unlocks the ignition and doors for you. Now the question is which location will be closer for us, campus or downtown. Did I mention I LOVE our house location?

I love reading your blog, Amanda. I do hope you are keeping a hard copy of this narrative and pictures for your future reading. How do you get so much done? I love the idea of the Zipcars, wish Danville could snag something like that.
