I figure the entire fleet will be totaled or stolen in a year.

...packing and moving to Sacramento... :)

Been off SSDI due to brain injury for over 2 years, but this work thing gets old fast :) JK

Fortunately, my job pays a heck of a lot more than SSDI max.

Every “urban free loaner” bicycle program has shut down.

The lib planners are no doubr thinking “we didn’t do it right...let’s give them free cars. Yeah, that’ll work this time.”

Remember when Los Angles Unified School District spent $1.3 billion giving all of the students “free” iPads?

"On Friday, Sacramento launched a pilot program that put eight shared electric Kia Souls at public housing sites. Up to 300 residents can apply for on-demand access to the vehicles, with no charge for maintenance, insurance or juicing up the battery.

What could possibly go wrong? Reminds me of this:

"Even more important than being drunk, however, is having the right car. You have to get a car that handles really well. This is extremely important, and there’s a lot of debate on this subject – about what kind of car handles best. Some say a front-engined car; some say a rear-engined car. I say a rented car. Nothing handles better than a rented car. You can go faster, turn corners sharper, and put the transmission into reverse while going forward at a higher rate of speed in a rented car than in any other kind. You can also park without looking, and can use the trunk as an ice chest. Another thing about a rented car is that it’s an all-terrain vehicle. Mud, snow, water, woods – you can take a rented car anywhere. True, you can’t always get it back – but that’s not your problem, is it?"-PJ O'Rourke (How to Drive Fast on Drugs While Getting Your Wing-Wang Squeezed and Not Spill Your Drink, 1978)

I just went outside and took a photo of my 97 Lumina with a flashlight. It still has 50 miles to go before it hits 200,000.

Imagine trying to insure such a car with multiple drivers of unknown driving records. And if the state self-insures, imagine getting into a collision with one and trying to sue the state.
