And even better, sometimes the driver needs to stop at the grocery store; when you&#8217;re a regular guest in the vehicle, sometimes this can seem like a pain, but when you&#8217;re a <em>car-free</em> guest in the vehicle, you see it as a free bonus!</p> Tue, 14 Nov 2006 21:39:00 -0800 urn:uuid:85bd30f3-64c1-4e8a-8caa-3bf0481b570c Erin Bean http://www.dontdrive.org/articles/2006/11/14/carpooling-rocks Shopping Perks and Benefits
