They won't take 7 passenger conversion vans either.. guess if you got enough money you can sue them..but by the time you do that. The fun of Uber be well over..😢

Uber and Lyft doesn’t accept these vans because they don’t have 4 doors. A crew cab half ton pickup can be used as an Uber or Lyft but they aren’t as common for ride sharing.
@RayMainBagpiper20 сағат бұрын
It's a really strange requirement, my van has six doors. I feel it's just an arbitrary requirement, without malice of course. LOL. Plus just doing door dash with the van, I am barely breaking even, I'm making changes. Updates coming. Thanks for commenting.

Get a mini van. Yes this is in good shape, but if I see this pedo van pull up for my uber, I’m cancelling. Be logical - nobody, especially single women, are going to feel comfortable getting in an old white panel van alone.

When I moved to Utah in 2017, uber was fun and very random, I was using an 03 Ford Excursion and made ALOT in cash tips. Previously I had worked in airport ground transportation in SOCAL with "Private" Clientelle and made a lot in cash tips. Right now, Uber and Lyft have turned into something different. I've got 30 years experience working in almost every market except Greyhound and tour busses. Uber and Lyft are way over regulated and underpayed. IMHO. It's not a "Free Market"

This is Wellington🧐 Happy Thanksgiving to You. And Happy Thanksgiving to Milo as well. All Good information. I was on the RHS Queen Mary in Long Beach. ( I think they took the RHS off there. I can not find it now ) I do know when the Bagpipers were aboard the Queen Mary. It's sort of off sometime around summer or before March. I Know it's a Weird time. I just remember that. I was never aboard when they were on there though. Not for any reason other than I live far away Mr. Main. My Name is in the book below the Framed picture of the Sea Monster and the men in the boat I recall. Perhaps the Captain's gally. It was " Haunted " when I went believe it or not.

I re-activated those Hakam Din bagpipes and figured out why the bass drone didn't fit like was supposed to.

Lord Wellington here. 🧐 Oh this is Sad News. Well this is interesting that you say you had your bag round 6 years. I've had mine for about 25 years now. My bag is down as well. 2 Air leaks in mine. I met with a " Bagpipe band " and the leader told me I could use re-sealant in mine. Otherwise, I would just Continue playin my bagpipes like I have been with the Air leaks in it. Ha,ha,ha! I learned How from a " Bagpiper " on You Tube. Hopefully someone from " Pakistan " contacts you like you wish about a New bag. I'm Still tempted to Make my Own re-sealant. I've already cleaned my pipes out with whiskey as instructed.

I'll eventually get another set of those parlor pipes just for the bag. Right now I have no income because of my foot wound, I'm healed up and my doctors say I'm ok to go back to work, but the "work med doctor won't let me go back to work without an SPE evaluation (Skill Performance Evaluation) which isn't available in my area. It "feels" like a conspiracy. I'll figure it out.

This is his Lordship🧐 So you did a burnout in a 67 cutlass. Thank you for your story Mr. Main. I could do No Right as far as my Grand mum was concerned. I was a perpetual loser! In the vain of Prince Harry or Kate Middleton. She would look over and scowl at me. My friend, hopefully Unbeknowst to her. Or anyone else for that matter took a car. To a parking lot and did a lot of doughnuts in the lot. When No one else was round. Black circles every where. Wore down his brand New tires. I on the other hand was unable to drive. I trained up on a 65 ford. In the dead of nite, I drove slowly down the alley past catwalks and buildings hitting just about every trash can along the way. ( Think to the tune of " Peter Gun . " ) With nothing but my red tail lights shining in the nite in my wake with papers flyin up behind me. I turned hand over hand to turn ye Ol' steering wheel at the end of the alley. Hit the brake and tossed the keys away. I Never drove again. Not for years after that. Till Modern day. Women Luv this Story. Perhaps it gives them want to Yell in my face and Fix me. I'm glad to hear that there are Citizernry out there, like yourself, livin the Cool Life. Just so's I can Hear about it. Such Magnificent Stories of Days gone by.....

@RayMainBagpiper get a bigger driveway right 👍? Seriously what you have is a very nice car. I remember some of these cars and they were older cars in my day. My 50 Olds is street legal. It sets on a 1974 Monte Carlo modified frame. The engine transmission is from a Corvette and they have been modified. AL GROSS tribute car. It is red white and blue. Baby blue from the main body white for the top red interior. It was built by some other folks over and actually probably took him 20 years in their garage. How old is a long story behind it and it's quite interesting. But I put it up on my channel maybe a year and a half ago. The video of the car isn't as good as I like because it was in tight storage. AL GROSS is Richard Petty's Richard petty. Junior Johnson's Junior Johnson. He was the father of NASCAR as far as drivers are concerned before NASCAR was NASCAR. The car appears to be a tribute to the heritage of nascar. But closer look and you can tell by the tires on the car The rake of the car and so forth especially the engine that it's a hole shot car. Quarter mile car. Like your car. Although I don't think the car has ever been run down to quarter. I know I haven't because I have tie rod problems if I sway just a little bit. You know can you hook up at the tree the car is going to squat a little bit. I like to see more in your car. If I hadn't subscribed I'm going to go back and check now I will subscribe.

This particular set of pipes is sold by Hakam Din and they are made from Shecham wood. You will need to get a modern chanter, and modern drone reeds. Balance Tone drone reeds are my current favorite. Also my current favorite chanter reed is from Shepherd. I don't get any kickback from the makers, I'm just letting you know what works for me. Get a set of practice pipes from Bagpipes Galore also.
