Hmmm; sorry Os, that must just be a FL (and possibly a NY) thing. Here in WA State, we don't have SUV taxi's; although we do have yellow Crown Vic taxi's (a company called "Yellow Cab"; go figure), with 99.99% of the taxi driver's here wearing some sort of Middle-Eastern turbin on their heads and speak in very hard to understand Middle-Eastern language dialects. I've discovered that U.S. Military personnel quickly get upset with these specific taxi driver's easily sending the G.I. into a full-blown rage of violant anger. Very puzzling.

I am a bit jealous that you have women on the sidewalk trying to flag you down and attempt to climb in your VX. I truly wish I had that problem. The only wave I've gotten from women lately is with one finger and a scoul on their face. I truly envy your troubles (hmmm; now where did I put that magnetic "TAXI" sign placcard-- ah yes, here it is).
