I would be very hesitant to loan much, simply that even with the best intentions, most people tend to fall into the rental car mindset.

If you have an older w minor issues that only you know about and are fine with, it only takes a moment for someone else to mess it all up. On 2 vehicles, I have a total of about $400. that I would have to spend to make it perfect, but now its fine for me!

I love the idea in theory, but most people just are not angels; and don't want a 5 minute do it this way talk.

If you want to showcase a veh. to sell them on ecomodding, I think it would be more practical if that veh. was a 3rd or 4th veh. for you, not what you actually need every day.


If you know someone well, the lawnmower/snowblower/pu works.



I wish more people split ownership of horses, ultralights, travel trailers, and the like. Why have duplicates everywhere sucking up the money?

Unless it's very new, and no issues generic, I just don't see it for your every day ride. It's like sharing your tooth brush!
