but some of us have engines that take 15 miles or so to warm up.
Yeah, but 15 miles is nothing when you're apparently flying a Space Shuttle to the moon!

Ultimate first world problem (hope it hasn't been posted before):

How does that work? Where would they (legally) land a helicopter?
Or, why would they offer motorcycle service?
-
How does that work?
1 helicopter in a rich area (Dubai)
Where would they (legally) land a helicopter?
Only at certain places, which the app would tell you to go to.

Huh. I thought the point of Uber was essentially a do-it-yourself taxi service. I guess they're breaking that idea for helicopters?
What's next, UberBUS, directing you to your nearest Bus Stop?

You could call a cab to take you to the helicopter…

Yo! I heard you like Uber! Wanna Uber to your Uber when you Uber?
-
Because you can totally just land a helicopter anywhere.
There's a lot of water around Dubai (people with their own private islands and such), they were probably meant to solve the problem of crossing it.
Also, publicity.

I'm waiting for UberThreesome. "We were going to have sex anyways, so if you can chip in for the hotel room, you can join"

I was trying to watch the credits to see who the guest star was in Bojack Horseman but netflix automatically moved forward before I could see. I guess I'll just never know who it was.
-
netflix
Speaking of Netflix, they just entered Poland, and my DO droplet with 20 euro of credit on it is now much more useless.
Also, no more feeling smug over being able to access it *sob*

Hooray for the efficiency of diesel engines! I have the same problem. Further first world problem: I can't (shouldn't and don't) drive it hard for the first fifteen minutes or so until it's warmed up.
-
Your engine likely weighs more than his car.
My tyres are a bit bigger and I have a suspension lift kit on a (real) truck on its way to my house right now, but it looks pretty similar to that.
2T tare, 1T payload, 3T towing capacity. I know you Yanks like them bigger () and louder but you can't substitute noise for taste or class.
-
Mine's a diesel, it reaches full temp way sooner than that.
-
drive it hard for the first fifteen minutes or so
FFS that's almost as long as it takes me to get almost anywhere!
Then again, I own literally the smallest Tacoma I could find at the time (it was also the only Manual transmission, because apparently engines are now so powerful clutching is too tricky for the average consumer).
Filed under: Still doesn't get more than 22 MPG, despite it's "efficiency"

Not my pic, but this is basically mine.
Filed Under: 22 mpg easily

Are we doing car pics?
I guess we are now?
I apparently don't do vanity shots of my stuff. Accept this, taken after a Microburst tore half our roof off the house (luckily, my truck, which is apparently illegally parked, was not in the path of destruction. The trailer saved it.)

Jesus Christ you Yanks put up with some ugly-ass shitty looking vehicles. WTF is going on with the headlights? And that front bumper? Stop buying cars designed by blind people stuck in 1980.

Your cruck looks like someone anthropomorphized a Tacoma with a goofy smiley face for the movie 'Cars'. You have zero room to disparage other vehicles.
-
What's a mpg?
A short hand of MPEG, which is a container format for multimedia content.

Meh, you're just jealous you can't buy them in the US.

No. Trust me, that is not it at all.

It could look like a boiled turd with bad acne and I wouldn't care as long as it continues to gets good mileage, carries/pulls anything I rope it to, and literally doesn't notice snow and ice.
-
Indeed!

It was 4°F this morning and my car nearly died a minute after I started it and tried to let it warm up. Yeesh.
The radio's LCD died, but the radio itself continued to work. Sometimes the display would flicker back on, sometimes it would display garbage, and sometimes it would work but was ghosted. I didn't know cold could cause that to happen.

Well, @Mott555's pic is of a 12 year old vehicle. Plus, who worries about form over function?

Just yesterday, my friends and I killed a lizard wizard who was riding on the back of a giant lizard.
Right, this isnt uploading...

Different colour, different wheels but close enough.

Oooh, VW figures! Wonder what you get when you're not triggering asthma attacks for miles around…

Undefined mpg, seeing as that only happens when it's not moving.

how it's called in UK?
We don't/didn't have that in Europe.
We had the hatchback Fox, but that got replaced like 5 years ago.

yours isn't the same model but new?

Mine's a Golf/Jetta, which is only related to the Fox/Suran in the sense they're made by the same company.
