How's that work out for you, malmo? When I got rid of my car I considered that zipcar was a future option for the odd day or weekend I wanted wheels. Can you generally get a car when you want? Do you need to reserve way ahead on a weekend or anything?

Depending on the inventory that's in your local garage, generally you can get a car on weekdays with short notice. On weekends, sometimes its tough, you might have to pick up at another location. If there's a shortage I just go old-school rentals. The cars are in great condition, you pay a flat hourly rate (or daily) billable to the half hour, a gas card is included in the car, but you don't get charged for gas (included in the hourly rate). If you want to drive a Bimmer ($14 hr or $100/day), no problem, they've got em.
Environmentally sound lifestyle.
No investment in a wasting asset.
No wasted insurance payments.

yeah, 3 bikers killed in a week here. ideal place to ride.
'00 Echo 16k miles.
I am a walking environmental disaster with 2 teen drivers. I have a 2006 Volvo S80 for me; 2005 Honda Odyssey for my spouse, a 2003 Olds Aurora (very low mileage - CarMax special - actually like this one the best) for my younger daughter, and a 2006 Honda Pilot for the other daughter (she conned me into it because of her concern over driving in snow). I should feel more guilty than I do but I rationalize that I will give the kids the cars when they get their own start in life.
And I have a credit card issued by my auto insurance company because it provides further discounts off the insurance - I pay ridiculous amounts in auto insurance.
And lest anyone think I should be ashamed over this recent excess of auto wealth, in my serious running days I owned a 74 orange Subaru with a faulty gas line cable spliced with a shoe string. And I am positive I am hardly alone on this board in being absolutely terrible in saying no to daughters.
Me-1997 Expedition- Father's Day present when new-125K miles now

2001 Honda Civic HX, 40 mpg highway, 37 mpg city.
My wife's car: 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid, 38 mpg city, 45 to 50 mpg highway.
Yeah your right 3 bikers killed in a week, doesn\'t exactly make AZ out to be the ideal place to ride ...but just out of curiousity since your keeping track how many people were killed in car accidents this week in Phoenix?? I would bet it is alot more than 3...so it goes without saying Phoenix is not exactly ideal for biking or driving, weather wise it is ideal, heavy traffic,road rage and red light runners not so ideal....
96' Mazda Protege. 200500 miles so far. Will get a new car after 300000
