See? You're prejudiced :-)

Reminds me of the character in Donald Westlake's books, who whenever he needed a car, would go hang out in front of a fancy restaurant and wait for someone to hand him their keys.

But there's the other thing that seems really strange to me: the whole idea of letting some random person drive my car. It's not quite in the same league as loaning a stranger my toothbrush, but close.
