I was reading today of a fellow collective member’s loss of the only family vehicle. Especially in a rural area where public transportation is non-existent, one is lost and isolated without a car.

Then there are people like me who are single and have more than one working vehicle. I have a pickup that makes approximately 5 trips a year to the dump or Home Depot and otherwise sits unused in the driveway. I know a lot of people with spare cars and trucks.

I would gladly loan mine out to someone who could use it in exchange for maybe some chores I can’t do alone. Does such a network exist? Is it workable? Or would it be an insurance nightmare?
