"But it's dangerous

Hmmmm. Definitely. But even more, not a compelling advertisement for Zipcar and their supposedly well-maintained fleet. Since I'm not quite willing to bike around in the rain or across the Bay, I'll stick with my 16-year-old, 199,600-mile trusty steed with its annual insurance of barely $600.... Maintenance is in good hands when I live down the street from Art's Automotive, which is basically the Cheeseboard of mechanic shops (i.e., everyone else in the know, nationwide, yearns to be able to take their car to Art's). I think Zipcar is "laming out" here... (inside joke: this expression is a misperception of something arguably more obscure which Sam said today. Unrelated: later in the evening I also invented the word "shrinkled").

Actually, 5+ Hours

I didn't factor in the waiting... The errand itself took four hours, then I waited for an additional hour and a half... Very amusing Friday night.
