It most likely will last till 400,000 miles as this friend plans to keep that car until it wears out, but why not get an extra 20mpg out of driving my car instead?

Well I agree with all the points mentioned, and I lend out everything I own. This includes my truck, motorcycle, car, house, money, etc, etc. If we are talking about efficiency, does it really make sense that every person have their own lawn mower when it only gets used once a week, for example?
I've been working on doing the same thing, my brother bought a house yesterday that is a block away, there is no reason for both of us to own a mower and snow blower, two pickup trucks that we can borrow are another block away and I have a garage with a hand full of bicycles that get loaned out all of the time.
