[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP!  Welcome back!

Have you driven around any famous (or, rather, DC-famous) people before?  Would you ever drive Uber Black?[/quote]

Ben Stein, Matthew Klesko, Kris Humphries, a Caps player I couldn't pin, John Wall's barber (he just had to tell me, lol), a local news anchor and a weathergirl that I recognized from tv but didn't know their names and can't remember them from the app, and[b] TONS of people who [i]think[/i] they're "DC" famous or important.[/b]

And nope to uberBLACK.  My costs nowadays are gas, oil changes and tires, and not much else.  I plan on driving my car until the day it dies so I'm trying to get the best bang for my buck with the bare minimum in expenses while keeping the income as high as possible for as long as I can.  I don't know how anyone turns a profit in a $60,000 gas-guzzling Suburban, even if the rides are a $25 minimum. Also, those uberBLACK drivers sit for hours waiting on a single ride...I'd rather keep the wheels rolling.[/quote]

I didn't know Uber Black waits so long between rides, nor about the $25 minimum!  Re: the bolded -- any particularly egregious stories (names redacted, of course)?[/quote]

It's the people I pick up at Russell/Hart, Rayburn, or a fancy K Street address who sit in the back yakking away either on their phone or with their friend(s) along for the ride about things that probably shouldn't be mentioned outside their offices or a SCIF.  Since I'm just a lowly uberX driver, people must assume I'm a partly-deaf nobody.  99% of it goes in one ear and out the other and it's completely forgotten once the ride is over, but still, you never know who may be listening if you make zero attempt to be discreet.
