Likely they missed the joke because it *was* a bit of a stretch- the 'finger' you've referenced was actually a thumb...

"The idea behind sniping is to be hidden and deadly from far away."

+1, but low hanging; he did indeed walk right into that one.

I worked for Mercedes when this generation of SL was introduced, and they made me take a red 500 for a weekend. It was a marketing thing, all the employees got a turn, even the warehouse help... I can still vividly recall that Saturday night, tearing up the expressways around O'hare, that car was a blast.

OY do I feel ya-

Heh, aiming high- but I like it! My very first car was a Porsche (ok, it was a beater '70 914, but still an official bearer of the marque), and it's been a dream of mine to get into another before I snuff it...

So what's the answer now?

I'm pretty sure that on NYE the "quantity of cars" was never going to be enough, so a huge surge was guaranteed. And as far as what amount is going to motivate someone to 'work' as opposed to partying, I can only address from personal experience... I started with Uber in October when I lost a 14-year, full-time…

I hadn't heard that, but according to this article it was "automatic", and it did apparently lead them to "a policy that limits rates during emergencies and natural disasters, based on its U.S. guidelines. Uber "capped the surge" once it "became aware that it was automatically surging above our rates for emergencies,"…

"Really curious if anyone knows... Do drivers have to commit to a certain number of hours a week? Or, if they choose, could they only work when surge pricing is in effect and the rates are higher?"

"Surge price during a disaster, like in Austrailia during the coffee shop hostage situation, is wrong and should be stopped."

Pick A Brick shop...

Lawzy, I haven't seen Dahler Mendi in what- going on ten years now? Tunak tunak tun, INDEED!

Aww, c'mon, he did DONUTS around a DONUT shop! Are you not entertained?

Uber takes a flat percentage.

"Will the sequel take place in a Hobby Lobby parking lot?"

And if they had, it'd be one of the best specials ever, and end in a bar in a place that is now- err, I mean would be- atop my list of places to see before I snuff it...

"Ohhh Kaay, BRING IT ON!"

I used to date a girl who's mother was named Ada, and I would always snicker inwardly when her and I would have our youthful assignations at the RAMADA Inn.
