I saw this on the FP

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Everywhere is comparing this site to AirBnB, but wouldn’t this just be a classic car version of Turo? I just find that a more apt comparison, though I am pretty sure Turo allows older vehicles, though I could be wrong there. I just don’t get why all the press for this site is using that comparison.

Probably because AirBnB is a mainstream, well known thing and Turo isn’t quite as widely known. Like if I called a dog breeding service Match.com for dogs rather than JDate for dogs.

Yeah, just a narrower Turo. But everybody recognizes AirBnB

That is an odd comparison, but ok

Yeah, my guess is too much web traffic with all the press today
