   4 years ago in  Have you had any #whatsmyname passengers yet?

  Wait, I agree with your sentiment but how would someone know the name of the driver?  DOing a lookup in the license plate or something?

   5 years ago in  Has your Uber driver ever stopped to get gas while you are in the car? mid-ride?

  What an excellent question. Well, yeah, the drivers have to fill up at some point. Come on. 

  I suppose they can go offline like a cab would if the gas gets low, but depending on where the passengers are going, you know? 

  The price of the trip won't change, right?

   5 years ago in  What do you all think of the new Uber logo?

  That "logo" is now just text though.  They have decided to not any logo or images.  Just word. I guess their name itself is enough.

   5 years ago in  What's the biggest lie that a mechanic has ever told you?

  If the timing chain or belt was gone, your engine and its pistons inside would fall apart. Your car would be dead on the side of the road.

  Good for you to have known that.  I am not sure if that's a common knowledge.  To think that this mechanic may have gotten away with it with others makes me really mad.

  BTW, I feel like $10,000 repair should be a red-flag on its own.  Removing and replacing timing belt is a huge pain, of course, and requires lots of hours.  If the engine is busted, sure, maybe more labor.  However, $10,000 on what I assume to be a 10+ year old car (I am assuming), it just ridiculous.  Might as well total the car and move on.

   5 years ago in  This is a serious question to drivers. I hear you routinely have 10~12 hour shifts. Do your butts get sore when you drive for so long? Could bedsores (I guess "buttsores" in this case) be a thing?

  like a gay joke?

  or like getting screwed by Uber up the butt joke.

  Wow they have 4.4?  That's so high.  Wait, their iOS app says 4.5 star. Surprised  

  Then again that's still deactivation worthy.

   5 years ago in  Lyft is paying passengers $550 to give up their cars for a month.

  You confused me.  I wasn't sure if this was a hypothetical or if you (the OP) were offering this out of your own pocket.

  You are talking about this

  Lyft will pay you $550 to ditch your car for a month.

  Damn.  That's scary.

  I empathize, but I have to say.  Were there any crimes commited that night?  Perhaps the only crime was you attempting to roll over the poor man.

   5 years ago in  If you were the new CEO of Uber, with absolute power, what would be the first thing you'd change?

  @FitBit, yeah, it isn't about fair, right?  It costs drivers to provide service to those who are in remote areas, so they should be paid more.  I mean AT LEAST even to cover for expenses, like driving to pick them up.

  People choose to live in remote locations.  That's their choice and that's the cost they decide to incur.  Simple.  

  I mean, they already drive themselves home and use more gas.

  Nope.  A comedian "kills it" at a comedy show.  Not a person. 

  No, don't ask what "it" is.
