new york city cabs
aah, the nyc cab. nothing says “new york” quite like swarms of yellow cabs driven by all manner of exotic foreign-tongued jockeys careening about the concrete jungle. but i think, against all logic, the city should have stubbornly adopted an ordinance clinging to the checker cab for all eternity… much like london has clung to their oddly mis-shapen black cab. can you imagine the checker cab after 50-60 years of continuous evolution and refinement ? (swoon!) i mean, whats with all the crown victoria’s ? those things are so awful i feel like puking after two blocks due to their awful suspension, smells and claustrophobic design. if not checker cabs, then i demand a fleet of mini-coopers…. they make a whole lot more sense in dense urban wilderness such as nyc.
