Default Gypsy Cabs

I was just at the game tonight and was waiting for a cab outside of Duttons and a van pulled up offering me a ride home.
There was a guy and his girl and I got in and they drove me home all the way to Arbour Lake and asked me to pay what ever I thought the ride was worth.

Has enyone ever had a Gypsy Cab before?

It was a little strange. On seocnd thought it probably wasn't a good idea to get in a van with strangers but it worked out OK. They were actually really nice and I got the idea that they could use the money.

You know, it seems entirely appropriate that gypsys would be cab drivers...

Yeah right. They should have been pickpocketing.

Indeed.

In the days when wagons are no longer practical.....voila the Aerostar. Gypsy Wagon of the future.

I took one (a van as well) from the Dome to the Back Alley after a game last year. I think they're great.
