I just want to know who owns the cars. To me, it is beyond belief that each of the Uber and Lyft drivers I've had ponied up and bought a fresh new car to participate in "sharing." There's more polish on an Uber vehicle than any car or cab in my neighborhood. It seems odd to use the word "sharing" for something that seems like ultra professional service - even on the low UberX end. Is Uber offering financing?
