No one else gets carsick in Suburbans? [/quote]
... 
In the meantime, make use of the cancel feature to get choosy about your ride.  (Cancelling is free if done within five minutes of requesting.)[/quote]
Huh. I never thought about canceling after I get the "Gema is on his way in a Suburban" and reselect until a get a nice BLACK sedan. I'll probably just keep complaining about my $75 boat ride instead.
What about the showing up in 25 minutes when the app says the wait is 8 minutes -- is that more likely something unforeseen? Or the driver stopping for gas or something else? [/quote]

This is simply a case of the driver taking his sweet-ass time in getting to you.  He could be getting gas, taking a shit, eating lunch/dinner, whatever.  Drivers NEVER turn the driver app off when they're out working...uberX, XL, BLACK, Taxi, doesn't matter.  Competition is so fierce for pings that missing a good one could absolutely tank your day.  I'll be in a bathroom at McDonald's and a ride request ping sound will go off in someone's pocket and three dudes will all pull out their phones and check them at the same time.

The arrival time shown in the app is pretty accurate and adjusts to be more accurate as the driver gets closer.  A driver should rarely ever be more than 3 minutes later than the original ETA, unless there's something unforeseen like crazy traffic or an accident.[/quote]
