THE PITCH

Jump to: Details | Reviews

There are so many reasons not to own a car:

  • Insurance
  • Maintenance costs
  • Parking tickets
  • Back pain from hydraulic lifts
  • The irresistible but dangerous urge to sleep beneath the hood on the warm engine
  • You have to leave the car in order to ride a pony

While riding a pony solves some of these problems, there's still a lot you can't do with it:

  • Carry more than one bag of groceries
  • Pick up the water bed you got on Craiglist
  • Run errands in no-pony-zones

You need a car, but only every once in a while; join Zipcar, where each car is fully equipped with zippers and where you save 72% with today's Groupon.

    Hey there,

    I, being the techonologically challenged person that I am, did not register before June 20th. Is it still possible to redeem my groupon? And if not, get refunded for not using it?
