Do you have a car? Yes, I do, and you’re sitting in it! Today’s car is number 5481. I get a new car everyday, and I can hold up to 50 people at once! I get to take you where you want to go and get paid to do it. I don’t have to worry about parking and I can call on my phone here to get help from a crew of people set up to help me keep going. 

I don’t have to pay for gas because this car uses free power from O’Shaunessy Dam at the Hetch-Hetchy reservoir. Parking is free, and I have a camera to send a bill to someone who is blocking my parking space. If there is any trouble, I can call for help from my phone, and it can be here in three minutes. The police are my friends and co-workers and also here to help.

I sold my truck when I moved here to pay for the deposit on my apartment, and I haven’t had to pay for tires, batteries, gas, parking, or insurance since I got rid of it. My employer is my insurance company. The money is coming in, not going out. 

I enjoy driving very much and am glad that I am not polluting the air by driving you to where you need to go. It’s kind of like the ultimate in ride share, without any carbon emission! Thanks for riding in my car today!
