> my car will be Turo'ed at work.

I'm curious - what does it mean to "Turo" a car?

I'm assuming it means "parked in the parking lot" but I've never heard the expression before.

Turo is a service that lets you rent out your car when you aren't using it, so it could provide a 2ndary income stream while you are at work

to be clear, it's kind of absurd to suggest that renting out the car you need to get home for the duration of your shift is a reasonable thing to do.

Curios why? If someone wants it for an extra 3 days/nights, shoulder shrug take uber home = more money. Someone cancels, drive to work. Someone has it? Uber = more money. Someone cancels during work, drive home like normal. Not following why this is absurd. I think it would be absurd to just sit it in the lot for 10 hours (2 extra hours since I am sucking up those sweet tips) - or take buses home and have a 2 hour commute?
