Default Car Next Door

Neighbour to neighbour car sharing website.
Car Next door, it's been described as Airbnb for cars.
I don't think I could I do it, I have a 9yr old Navara as a second car that I don't use all that often but I still couldn't hand over the keys to a complete stranger.
A good way to make a bit of extra cash though if you don't mind sharing.

Would suit millenials to a tee, they only use cars to go to the gym and scoot to their next tinder booty call, they quite simply couldn't GAF about cars.

Dont agree with this at all, Im 20 and unfortunately get thrown in with a lot of negative millenial stereotypes. I have 3 cars which I enjoy and look after and take pride in keeping them both in good running order aswell as looking Good. I use them to get to work, go and visit friends, go to the odd car show, go away for holidays, or take up the beaches and go out camping with mates just to name a few of the uses.

I know heaps of young people who are like myself, and love the freedom and enjoyment that having a car gives.

Bullsh... I'm a millennial, and I'll be f'd if I'm handing the keys over to my RS... even if it does less than 3000k a year.

If anyone's gonna drive that car like it's stolen, it's me..

It isn't all that different to the other car-sharing services in the market already.

Didn't you get the memo, the only people who can like cars are the old crusty buggers around here...

No one younger than them will ever love cars.

Maybe it's better suited to Baby Boomers, I wonder if they mind sharing their Toyota Camrys, they only use them to go to RSL clubs and to prostate exams?
