@Getaround might be the solution to my “should I sell my car?
From money pit to cash cow?
Getaround is the first social car sharing network.
We let car owners make money off their cars by renting them to their friends. We provide full insurance on the cars, so neither party has to worry about liabilities or potential damage.
Everyone can “Save by Sharing.”
We have a Ford Taurus 2002 that we will place on the site and see if we get any takers.
What a great idea.

From the About Us on the Site:
We saw a common problem with the personal automobile.
Car owners invest huge amounts of time and money into an asset they barely use. Cars are driven only 8% of the time, while potential drivers walk past block after block of underutilized cars. We are here to connect the dots… to help people get around.
Getaround is a social car sharing service.
We enable car owners to safely rent out their underutilized cars to a community of trusted drivers. People in need of a car can rent one by the hour using the Getaround website or iPhone app.
Imagine a world with fewer cars, without traffic jams, and with less pollution.
We are a team of successful entrepreneurs, hackers, and business people passionate about using mobile technology to create sustainable transportation solutions. We want to empower people to travel more efficiently and cause a shift from personal to shared transport.

Apparently Michael Arrington invested in the company, so the numbers must look good.
