That will be $64.99. Maybe I should let Carly know that drunk girls will be calling me late at night looking for rides home from bars? For times when people don't have Mike N's foresight, I'd like to see more downtown parking where you can leave your car overnight. For example, I got a parking ticket one time after leaving my car downtown for the night. I went in and explained that I took a cab home and got it waived, but there should be an easier way to do this. Good idea, Aliecat. That will be $64.99.

Plus, the possibility that you don't use their service, making them even more porfit. Seems like the whole gift card model applied to taxis. Shrewd, but only if people are sucker enough to fall for it. I'll come off sounding self-righteous here, but a prepaid drunk cab is not a consumer with foresight. It's enabling. A consumer with foresight would either establish a DD ahead of time, or have the foresight not to drive somewhere and get wasted.

I'm curious to see if they succeed. Wow, that seems excessively priced. I’m curious to see if they succeed.
