car sharing... in italy!!!

please take note (once in a while an important post)...

a couple of friends of mine in italy are trying to set up a portal for car sharing:
www.viaconme.it

which i think is a great idea!
i live in germany and here it is very popular (it's called mitfahrgelegenheit - possibility to travel together... in one word!)

the idea is v. simple: you have to drive somewhere and you car is (partly) empty. then you advertise your trip and whoever has to go to a similar destination can join.
share costs and reduce pollution.

clearly it works only if enough people know about it and advertise their trips, so i'm not saying that the possibility of car sharing in italy exists now, but it could soon become a reality.

so please, if you're italian or live in italy or know italian people, please:
advertise
viaconme !!!

(it's wonderful, it's wonderful, good luck my babe...)

apparently italy is not ready yet...
the only few comments i received said they would never trust such a service, they wouldn't feel safe...
whatever.
maybe we'll just never be ready.
