Comment: I've been a Zipster for about a year and a half now and I've always been completely happy with my membership and their customer service. Though I don't own a car (nor do I want to own one) having one can be convenient at times. In SF I would rent a car when I wanted to take drives along the coast, or rent a truck when I needed to pick up some furniture. I only had to rent it for the amount of time I needed it, and insurance, gas, and parking are all included. Though I haven't used it as much while I've been in Chicago, Zipcar has remained convenient and available every time I've needed it. Occasionally I get an email update on new features, new cars added to my neighborhood and other bits of interest. A few weeks ago, they were giving away a copy of Gary Hirshberg's new book to the first person in each Zipcar city to respond to the newsletter, and I happened to be the quickest gun in Chicago. Gary is the CEO of Stonyfield Farm and is a very influential and successful man in the world of responsible and environmental business practices, as well as yummy organic yogurts.

that book sounds so interesting. Maybe when you're done reading we can do a print-interactive book exchange...I have a book called "Chasing Daylight" that's made the rounds on our side.
