Cool, but I’d skip it.

Looks like fun, but I’d go with a six week NASCAR driving course! Why buy a fancy car if you can’t blow the carbon off the plugs once in a while?

Once met a guy who won BIG in a lotto in Texas. His advice to me (which he did not know at the time he won):

IMO great idea! I’ve looked at buying one myself.

and even though they got a Section 8 voucher to relocate, where would they relocate to?

You’re right- in Chicago it’s the SALE! SALE! price of only 300k +, and in SF it’s a quarter million AND the city gets a 100k commission.

I can think of one thing- have a dash cam with audio in the car. Then attach to the back of the head rests (so the passenger can see it) “For the safety of driver and passengers, the interior of this vehicle is being audio and video-taped. If you do not agree, please notify the driver so the ride/trip can be ended…

In Boston that costs over a million dollars.

Here’s one reason why “danger - Uber” is getting such press: Cabbies who commit crimes against passengers are usually referred to the local Taxi Commission (which is usually corrupt/understaffed/incompetent) The cabbie gets his permit yanked in a administrative (secret/sealed) hearing, the commission doesn’t want to…

In Boston, a cab company CAN’T fire a taxi driver.

Do Uber drivers get the same criminal check that taxi drivers do?

As a short woman myself, I can solve your problem-

I disagree on this- in my early teens I was routinely harassed in school, by my teachers, and on the street for refusing to wear short skirts or sheer hose.

Minions? Costumes? Gotcha covered-

And for reminding me that sometimes my comments are not the equivalent of spitting in the wind, you have my thanks and a gold star.

So true. I don’t have any problems with women wearing clothes they choose to wear in the public sphere.

Google it

Men in the USA are arrested for wearing no shirts, too short running shorts, butt cracks and saggy pants.

No, I’d really like to hear you expand on this. After all, in most places in the world, including the USA, men and women can be arrested (on either a de facto or de jure basis) for failure to adhere to a defined fashion range.

Nope, I don’t think Surfboard is trolling.
