Nowhere near NYC, but our local taxi company had a few S-types in their fleet as well as some Mercs and Audis. When calling for a pickup you could specify which type of car you wanted. The Jags were always very popular.

Looks more like a North Carolina Highway Patrol Car than a taxi cab. Slap a state seal emblem on both doors, a blue light on the roof, and you would be able to start your own business pulling speeders on the highways at rush hour and collecting cash on the spot to let 'em go with a warning....

I don't know about that. A couple of years ago I drove my granddaughter up to NYC for the weekend and I thought my S-Type was pretty handy. It was pretty agile and in Sport Mode, accelerated rather smartly. It was fun watching the pedestrians scatter when they heard the intake roar. Normally they just seemed to cross the road whenever they wanted, even if they were against the light. Once they realized I was an out-of-towner I guess they thought better of venturing out in the street.

Yup.... Used to drive into Manhattan and Staten Island all the time when I worked for a now dead consumer electronics retailer (Nobody Beats the WIZ).
And, yes, that friggen place will tear up a car... I used to go over to the "home delivery" department and take one of the spare trucks if I had to go in. Tore up the front end on the Cougar one to many times....

My favorite WIZ store was on Long Island.. It was in a strip mall. The store front was maybe the size of a large Radio Shack.. The trick... You walked through the main doors and were greeted by a wall of TV's over a huge escalator that went down.. The whole store was under the strip mall. That thing was neat.
That and the many floors of the Manhattan store... It's so sad what the family did to that business....
I hate most of RT22.. My Sister used to live in Greenbrook, before they moved out to the Boston area... Yea... 22 Sucks... Thanks though.. at least tonight when all the left lane morons are out in Ohio I'll just think "Well, could be worse......"
Man, this is just one of those silly threads that just wanders all over the place.. LOL
