All of the above would sort itself out if you got yourself a share, not to mention the fact that you'd almost certainly save yourself a fortune on the hourly rate.
Funny you should say that.......
I was involved in discussions last autumn about setting up a group with 5 other people. One of the issues that arose however was the very high fixed costs (maintenance/hangarage/insurance) which if shared equally would completely wipe out any financial benefit for me given my anticipated fairly light usage. Unlike (for example) one of the others who intended to use the aircraft for hour building. Costs that would increase further if anyone was to drop out of the group. None of the others wanted to increase the size of the group. In the end of the day it came to nowt
It would also have been a sizeable step down from the G1000 C172s I can rent from the club
Edit: I love the way this thread never dies
