The app said to expect a Mazda3.

Reality said that it was a Mazdaspeed3.

Reminds me when i bought mine. Insurance gave me a deal, mazda3s are safe. Then they realized what sort of shenanigans the ms3 was capable pf.

So you torque-steered your way to your destination?

I've always wanted a feature on the uber app that lets you pick your driver based on vehicle. To date, the coolest guy I've had was an older man in a drop top 330i. Classy and civilized. The misses didn't mind at all.

Drop top? Uber requires a four-door. He could be barred from Uber driving, like forever, for sneaking in with a two-door.

I wish Uber allowed wacky cars I would pick some weird foreign 4 door up like a Skyline or Rover 3500 lol.

Would uber pay me more based on 15 mpg but pure shagnasty awesomeness?

I had a dude show up in an Focus ST. It was a terrible choice for an uber driver.

I was once picked up by an Subaru STI. I talked to him about the car and asked if he did any fun stuff with it and he said he didn't know where and I mentioned autocross and the names of the clubs I run with and a few months later he showed up! He's run like 10 events.

I was thinking a Classic Uber would be a cool idea. Not for everything obviously, but could be rather popular in some areas (e.g. LA).

You can show up at the event in a Sienna or a 64 Caddy...

Musician Deadmau5 drives around Ubering in his McLaren MP4-12C and he only accepts drive-through Chipotle as payment
