I have to admit, escoguy….
It is so fvcking awesome you Uber drive…. Most of the people who you pick up don’t even know how well off you are.
I swear, you should consider doing a “Cash Cab” like game show.
Can I trade free DIY auto repair/service with free rides to the airport?? :)[/quote]
My wife thinks I’m crazy to Uber in a Model S, but passengers do get kicks out of it.
A dad took a selfie with his son in front of the car Sunday, they were so excited.
Another guy did a video call with his son in Cozumel to show the car.
One can learn a lot from passengers, they share so much about their lives and probably 95% are great. Occasionally, a few can be a touch pretentious.
I’d like to think it helps me refine my people skills and keeps me grounded.
Have to admit, after not being out there during the pandemic, it’s nice to be out driving again and seeing the vibe of San Diego, really so much to do here.
Oddly, I’ve managed to get to know a few neighbors this way, within half an hour had a family of Russian refugees coming from TJ, then a group coming from a wedding in Rancho Santa Fe. Kind of wakes you up to what is going on around us.
As far as money, no I don’t bring that up, if so in indirect terms about appreciating things in life. Some people need a little direction and really listen. It’s odd but one can have an impact in unexpected places.[/quote]
Awesome. What are my chances of Ubering in a Miata?
I can give a lot of directions in life too…
Late apex, trail braking, rev matching…
Oh wait, I can only take one passenger, 6’2″ or under, comfortably….
But wait a minute….
…”Honey, I need a 2+2 seat 911s for my Uber business…”
That might work…Can you select how many passengers you can take?[/quote]
About 90% of the time it’s 2 or less. Groups of four are usually shorter trips.
You can in theory decline but don’t want to do it too often.
