Things changed, as I explained. I never had a reason to, now I do. It saves me $60 a month on airport parking fees and the long slog from parking to the terminal. And all that is because of WoV and the tip I got from the AP thread. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Yup Of course he is now doubling down and playing fake road warrior ROTFL He should have just given up with his fantasy fake super secret tiny local Uber forum that he cant let anybody know about. LOL EB just doesn't get it.

It is what the show "Taxi" was about. Louie dispatched who he liked best, or who made the most money. All of the drivers with the exception of Alex were just doing the gig as an interim job, same as most Uber drivers today. The President is a fink. |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | Is this the teensy weensy "city of London" or is it for all of Metropolitan London? Also, its based solely upon "corporate responsibility" issues rather than the business model. |

What trend? Politicians caving in for the taxi lobby? People love Uber. It has probably kept more people from driving intoxicated than any single thing the past 50 years. Cabs have just themselves to blame. They have the same blinders the record industry did in 1999. The President is a fink. |

That and cabs are inspected regularly and Uber cars are not. I had an Uber a couple weeks ago where the driver had to pump his brakes before he stopped. If there had been a panic stop, I bet they would have failed. You never see that in a cab. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

And I had another Uber a month ago in a Suburban who's tranny was slipping so bad when he took off from a start he could barely take off. The 'parts are being shipped' he said. Sure they are. The problem is, you can have a 10 year old car now and drive, it used to be 6 years I think. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
