I must admit, I was initially skeptical about the concept behind Car2Go; however, after seeing their presentation at the December Leadership Austin Essential class I warmed up to the idea. Then, after class, I was offered a ride in one of the Smart Cars from the Car2go fleet. It was pretty fun... and the more I think about the concept, the more I like it. Not that I'm going to sell my Passat, but as I plan to move closer in to downtown Austin I love the idea of being able to grab a car for an unplanned one way rental in order to easily get around the central part of the city. As my girlfriend will tell you, I'm eagerly anticipating weekends wherein I won't have to use my car at all.
