What do other carpoolers have to say? We're a select group.

One of my carpool's passtimes is to keep a running list of "How I love carpooling, let me count the ways." I want to hear about the benefits of carpooling from other carpoolers. To get you going, here are some of our favorites.

"I love it when Susan picks me up at the door of the office. It feels like a chauffeur has arrived to take me home." --Don, one of three engineers in the carpool.

"I like Rick's heated seats, especially when he remembers to turn them on before he picks me up." --Susan, the only non-engineer in the carpool.

"When you carpool, you can rubberneck. A few months ago, I saw a drug bust by the side of the road. Because I wasn't driving, I could see the treat one of the cops was giving the dog as a reward for searching the car." --John, one three engineers.

"I like the company. I can network, too," --Rick, another engineer. [Not all carpools are so densely populated with engineers."

What makes you carpool? What makes you give up some convenience and "me time" to abide by a schedule?
