“We’re huge fans of ride-sharing services and try to report on them unbiasedly.” - Jalopnik.

No, you misunderstood my post entirely. I’m with the Avenue Q song: “Everyone’s a little bit racist.”

I have a hard time believing that the actuaries are intentionally adjusting their data to change the premiums in minority neighborhoods. Could there be something in the actuarial models that does not show up in the profile Consumer Reports and Pro Publica are using?

In regards to the Uber union, the part-time drivers are passionately against it. To raise rates, the union will decrease the number of drivers on the road, taking away money from those who want to work. Also, the unions aren’t working WITH the drivers, they are trying to get the drivers to pay union dues so the union…

Except this isn’t self inflicted anything. They’ve fetishized bitching about Uber even when it does nothing that stands out. Encouraging employees to report non-confidential information about competitors is pretty basic business practice.

Another day, another shit fit on Jalopnik about Uber.

Guys, we get it, you don’t like this taxi company.

It’s all propaganda. Unfortunately Jalopnik is turning into complete shit.

They’re going to see some serious competition in the next quarter or two, just you wait.

But... thats only 5 people... when i hear “a ton of people”, the headline lead me to believe driver numbers were declining at an insane rate... yes 5 higher ups leaving is an issue... but thats not “a ton of people”...

Absolutely, but it doesn’t help when the messenger is partially paid by the competition and they don’t mention that relationship.

Are you talking about Gawker?

Is trashing Uber part of the deal Univision has with Lyft? If this site looked in the mirror they might see some similarities. Company run by a creep (at least was), check, loose morals, check, shady practices, check. Sometimes you hate the people just like you.

Were you hired solely to do shit bits on Uber?

I’ve driven the new GS350 FSport and any number of the newest BMWs with various packages, a couple Audis and Mercedes too. The GS w/ FSport is the best one on the market. It’s the most engaging to drive (despite auto only) and has the best build quality.

Tom is a great guy and racer. He has used those glasses to brand himself and get racers and non racers to follow him. He is the future and I’m dam glad he is doing it his own way.

Meh, I’d argue that there is more evidence that we’re fucked by people who feel the need to insult others who just happen to be enjoying themselves

What’s wrong with his hair and RayBans?

It’s not even spiked, he just threw a little product in it. And RayBans, especially the “classic” Wayfayer, are classics for a reason.

And hell, those aren’t even real RayBans. No insignia on them anywhere. They’re just cheapo Wayfarer designs.

Hate on whatever you want, but I…

I will agree that we are fucked, but not because of Tom. Hell of a racer and super nice guy.

When you put “quotes” around your central argument, you sound like Donald Trump.

The RF is vastly inferior to the 3rd generation PHRT. It’s heavier, difficult to see out of when the “top” is down, and creates wind buffeting at speed. While the RF looks better than the PHRT, the PHRT is a superior convertible.
