hi scot,
check out the rules on the True Street website. they specifically require
that the car is used for some weekday type chores between events.

i myself used my "True Street" car last week to: get groceries (twice), go
to the bank and post office, pick up a car part in san francisco, visit my
friend russ in richmond and work on his car, and hit the auto parts store
for some supplies for the 240z. i dont think i drove any other car all
week. wait, i did rescue a friend in her 1985 accord so i drove that. what
did other people do?
