Flexing my car's muscles

Did you happen to catch ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings last week? You might have seen correspondent Brian Rooney interviewing yours truly for a story about Flexcar, the pioneering car-sharing program I belong to. Four-person crew--reporter, producer, cameraman, soundman--came to my place, followed me around on errands, got me to expound on the virtures of no longer having to own a car.

In addition to a link to the video, there's a text version of the piece online. Why me? Flexcar's PR guy John Williams set it up through his company, Scoville PR.

UPDATE March 1, 2005: The hits just keep coming. Similar story on the KOMO TV website, on a site about commuter news, and another about transportation technology. Finally, even TIME Magazine has caught on to the notion of sharing cars.
