Zipcar is awesome!

I've had a great experience so far. I signed up on the 21st, was approved the 22nd, and had my card the 23rd. I was bored sitting around today, so I went online, found a Mini available from 8-11pm, and took it.

I can't believe that I can just go to a website, pick a time and a car to drive, and then wave my card in front of the windshield and drive away. The people who came up with this idea are geniuses in my book.

The Mini was a fantastic car to drive. It is zippy, handles fantastic for such a small car, and rides very smoothly. I took it out without a destination in mind, which is the best way to drive. I picked up a friend on the way out, and we listened to music, talked, and relaxed the whole way around. We made it up to Salem, and then coming back through Lynn we managed to get caught going in circles. Fantastic time.

Next Saturday I get to take a Volkswagen Rabbit down to see my parents. I can't wait to take that one out. It seems like it'll be a great ride.
