Uber Fashion

I just got picked up by an Uber that was a Ford (spit) Falcon.

The driver tells me that it’s the only car banned by Uber. His was registered into the Uber system before the ban.

Uber wants distance itself from taxis in respect to the allergic reaction that people have to Falcons.

His problem is that, between the factory gas, the low purchase price and the cheap parts, that Falcons are by far the cheapest car to run as an Uber or a taxi. And hence also as a private car.

His current one which has a year to run before it hits it’s age limit cost him $5k. A reflection of the complete undesirability of the beast.

So he’s going to go and bat against the Uber machine so he can run another one. They are still making them but he plans on buying a used one.

Reluctant note to Uber drivers that are inattentive to car fashion; maybe the gas powered Falcon is an interesting, if uninspiring option.

But of course, the issue with the Uber ban has to be dealt with first.
