that's me in a nutshell. i have no use for car ownership being that i live in the city and commute up to my job in evanston via the train, but i do need to get out to far flung job sites across the vast empire of chicagoland every so often and PT is not really the way to go when you're using words like "far flung" and "vast empire". so for the one or two times a month i need access to a car to get to these places in a timely and efficient manner, I-GO fills the gap perfectly for me, and my company picks up the tab to boot!
i've been an I-GO member for a year and a half now and i have to say it's a beautiful thing.
