    I let a Valet park my Volt once. And that made me nervous enough. I don't even like other people parking next to me if I can avoid it. The only way anyone other than me gets behind that wheel is if I'm in the passenger's seat right next to them.

    The reason we belong to this forum is because we all really love our cars and for that reason, I don't think any of us will answer 'yes' to the question.

    Of course, I've been wrong once, maybe twice before. :-D

    On principle, I'm of similar mind to Ms. Fong-Jones (whom I met on G+ recently) - I'd love to car-share just to help take less-efficient cars off the road. I happen to live in a fairly safe area, too. But practically, I think our household uses the car too often, and my mother probably wouldn't appreciate the inconvenience of not quite knowing how much charge might be on the Volt at a certain time.

    ... and I love the quote (I'm sure it is a standard RelayRides disclaimer) "You must replace the gas that you use."
