Abstract

A method of performing an automobile transaction where an owner permits a user to use an automobile without regard for the creditworthiness of the user. The method includes the step of providing the automobile to the user by requiring the user to perform at least one preselected task without any regard at any time for the creditworthiness of the user. Also included is the step of preventing the user from using the automobile if the user does not perform the at least one preselected task. The preventing step is also performed by using an automobile-control mechanism that allows the owner to remotely control the automobile if the user does not perform the at least one preselected task. An automobile-control mechanism is also used to allow the owner to block operation of the automobile by the requester.
