PhillyCarShare: Pimp Our Ride
Since almost all of the handful of people who check back to this site with any regularity most likely know, one way or another, where I work, I don't see an issue [on my end] in disclosing that I work for [and love working for!] PhillyCarShare and above is a promo image and link to a design contest we're putting on. Check it out. It's gonna be cool.

In spite of never having met you, I feel like I should have known this one - it was so OBVIOUS. And yet I didn't know at all! I was sure it was something political or grassroots or something like that… then again, I guess I wasn't entirely far off. But you could have driven by in a PhillyCarShare car and I wouldn't have figured it out… not that I even would have recognized you with the whole never having met you thing… Point being, I had no clue. :) Congrats on the great job.
I'm curious about this promotion though. Will the design be on all of the cars? What if you really want to drive the car with the design? Or… what if you specifically don't want that car and just want something (relatively) unobtrusive to use to get back and forth to the grocery store?

The design will be on one Scion red xB for one month. There are plenty of cars to choose from all over the city so finding a car that isn't the [one] car which is wrapped will not be a problem. If you do want that car, since it is only one car and available for only one month, there will be some competition.

Sorry to be sharp, but I just have to say this, Albert. Did no-one in your office think that using the word "pimp" to mean "prettify" might be offensive to those campaigning for "pimp" not to mean "bring a woman into the country illegally, make her sell sex to pay off debt bondage, hook her on drugs, make her see ten or twenty men a night, and brutalise her to keep her compliant"?
Just a thought. I think those of us working for progressive causes might do well to think more about who our allies might be, and I would have thought feminist women and men might be interested in a car share scheme.
The job looks great by the way, and I'm glad it's going well. You come round to voting for Bob Casey yet? ;-)
