Cabbies and their cabs

Kevin and I are seasoned taxi passengers, and love the myriad of personalities, smells, and sights to be discovered during each ride. While the typical cab generally consists of a tacky seat cover and smoky odor, every once in a while we come across a driver or decor that is worth noting. We once found ourselves in a nearly broken down Toyota with a driver who may or may not have been sober. In another instance, I was told through a friend that the only cab drivers to be trusted were male vegetarians. Yes, vegetarians. As of late, we took a cab that was neatly decorated with furry, stuffed pals situated nicely on the dashboard. And while he may not look too friendly in this photo, the cabbie was a dear, kind man (he must have been a vegetarian :).
