The Cab: A fine example of the growing and welcome tradition of exceedingly clean Chicago cabs, the lone item of clutter being the charming lucky penny just behind the driver’s seat. Classical music was kept to a barely-audible hum, clearly played solely for the driver’s personal enjoyment. Not a cell phone in sight.
The Driver: Polite and resourceful, although perhaps a tad nervous. To be fair, however, this may have had more to do with your intrepid reviewer’s need to pull off a quick-change in the back seat. Did manage to recover his composure enough to make polite and engaging conversation.
The Driving: The speedometer never crept above 30 miles per hour despite copious amounts of open pavement. While this unfaltering respect for Johnny Law was heartwarming, a little lead in the foot might’ve spared your reviewer the need to drop trou.
Overall rating: 4.5 extended arms
