With this kind of horrible, biased blogging, I really hope Ryan Felton didn’t have to spend $700,000 in order to get his Jalop blogging medallion. Oh, right, that system doesn’t exist anywhere but in the bizarro taxi world.

No. No. No. Regulation exists to further quality not to limit quantity. The current system is so fucked. I am all for regulations, but they need to be in service of a quality experience for the customer, NOT in service of limiting competition. The current taxi regulations are entirely in place FOR the taxi drivers,…

Stfu with your biased, garbage journalism. The new system isn’t the problem. It’s the old system that is broken. $700k for a taxi medallion?!? How is that not the problem?? We don’t regulate restaurant quantity and we don’t regulate retail fashion outlet quantity. So why do taxis get this privilege?

I thought Chicago was the “windy city”?

I just can’t snark, I’m so baffled and impressed.

Boxers? Looks more like mixed martial arts. That Porsche is clearly going for a double leg take down.

It’s a new, better system that needs some improvement. But seriously, fuck taxis and their monopolies. You shit on your customers long enough and there’s foing to be a rebellion. Again, fuck taxis.

Your argument falls apart when it’s revealed that States don’t limit the number of restaurant licenses. Yes, you need to be licensed to prove you kinda know what you’re doing, and understand food safety. However, that’s completely different than saying “there can only be 50 grilled cheese joints in this city.”

First I’ll start off saying: I like the concept behind this car.

All of this.

“and far less kinky than the full Nürburgring.”

Yes, I hate smoked tail lights too. In fact, where I live, I swear every 15th cars is murdered out. But I’m sure they’re all very secure, well adjusted human beings.

Apology accepted.

I haven’t done any official research, but I’m 99% sure those are all factory options. There’s no way everybody is buying the exact same 10 spoke wheels for their Priuses, Prius’, Prii?

Altezza style tail lights (OE or aftermarket).

Jesus, I hat kinja blogs...

Except expansions in some form have always been around. You’re compairing apples to oranges. Game prices have completely ignored inflation for 20 years. The initial purchase of a game has been $60 forever yet the scope AND cost has multiplied exponentially. They’ve gone from costing $20 mil to make and generating 20…

This. Game passes and pay to play have come about BECAUSE of the refusal to raise the initial price of larger scoped games. I’m not saying raise the price of games globally, but more based on their initial content.

Much like the “Hammer and Nail” proverb:

Haven’t we seen this before? Isn’t the more likely story behind this: the car is owned by the owner of the Chevrolet franchises in the area (or possibly a friend of) and part of the ridiculous price is to prevent any actually buyers from being temped to make an offer as it’s, in fact, a marketing ploy in order to draw…
