I've started a "car sharing" domain, to track car sharing agencies  
like CityCarShare, ZipCar, and the like... and I'm looking to flush  
out some data...

I've seeded it with City Car Share's list of pods, and scraped the  
vehicle lists off their pages, and used the google maps API to  
geolocate most of the pods.

List of all pods across all agencies:

What you can get at Castro & Market:

Where to borrow a Honda Fit:

This might make a neat mashup with some of the transit agency stuff...

I'd love to get some help... or anyone have contacts at City Car Share  
(a non-profit, who might be especially interested) or ZipCar who could  
give us dumps of their location/auto information?
