Pretty much what it sounds like: there are cars all around the city
that members can use for short-term rentals, at a cost of $7-$9 an
hour, or around $50 or $60 for a full day. That includes insurance,
gas, parking, all of that. Could not possibly be more convenient for
us: living in the heart of Boston, three blocks from the Green Line,
we rarely need a car in the first place, so for those rare cases where
we do need our own transportation for a few hours, it's way cheaper to
have a Zipcar account than to have a car of our own and have to buy
gas, insurance, maintenance, and all that. Who needs the tsuris?
Plus, the nearest cars are about a block away -- I can see them from
our bedroom window -- so it's unbelievably convenient.
Favorite new discovery: SPACE BETWEEN by the Lesser Birds of Paradise.
Vintage Olivia Tremor Control/Neutral Milk Hotel-style psych/folk.
Recommended for anyone who misses the old Elephant 6 sound, though it
has no familial connections to that scene. Also available on eMusic.
