Depression after Washing

Renting is far more depressing,.

Yes, but the depression only lasts for a short while. When I leave the
airplane, and all the problems and expenses of ownership, sitting on the ramp, I
always leave with a happy smile on my face. Renting rocks!

In this day and age of high cost's and excessive liability
renting is becoming more economical and practical than owning

It depends on how much you fly.

Renting sucks. Squawks that never get fixed (even those that are safety
issues). Availability. Minimum hour charges that make it practically
impossible to take a vacation for more than a weekend. People who bitch if
you bring the plane back 5 minutes late. Many FBOs are now requiring
renter's insurance which means YOU carry the liability, and even if they
don't require it you'd better have it because for any damage to the plane
they are going to come after you. On and on it goes.

If you only go out for a $100 hamburger once a month, renting is probably a
great option. However if you do more than 100 hrs per year, you should at
least consider partnership or club options.

Considering the average persons circumstances, and an honest accounting for
both a persons time and money, renting is the only way to go. Not to
mention, you can select 2 place, 4 place, high and fast, low and slow,
aerobatic, etc - every time you pick up the phone.

Not so. Sharing a plane among three or four pilot/owners makes it
affordable and fun.

That requires a great deal of trust in the other pilots/owners.

How would you know? You don't fly. You've never owned an airplane.
You've never dealt with other pilots as a pilot. Go stick your head back
up your ass where it does something useful, fjjuktjard.

Why?

It requires that they be responsible adults, preferably business
people who can afford to own 1/3 of an aircraft.

They might total the airplane that you share. They might not maintain it
properly. They might damage it without telling anyone. There are many
possibilities.

Many adults aren't that responsible. Pilots get themselves killed often
enough; why would they be any more cautious for someone else's sake?

About the only impossibility is that you would ever get a clue.
