"To qualify for membership, you must: Be between the ages of 21 and 75 with five years driving experience and a valid driver's license"
In many large urban cities today, it is entirely possible to grow up as a teenager in the city, finish high school in the city, obtain a college degree in the city, and start a career in the city.
Since owning and operating a car in the city is not practical, this young adult would never realistically be able to obtain the five years of driving experience required to participate in FlexCar. But, isn't this true urban young adult the target subscriber of FlexCar?
I see easily 3 FlexCar hybrids on my westside walk from the lightrail to my classes at PSU. Speaking of each, PSU faculty have specially reserved to them *10* FlexCar vehicles, and they only have the pay the yearly $35 dollar fee. The hard-to-park lucrative OHSU campus has 3 FlexCar vehicles reserved to staff and students there, too.

If I do ever sign up for FlexCar, I'm going to try my best to reserve the Mazda Miata. I've seen that beast twice now around town.
