UBER C43 !?

Today I took an Uber to pick up one of my cars from the indy mechanic (2010 Jaguar XKR). The Uber was a 2018 M3 BMW. The driver was a Russian immigrant that has been in the US about 6 months.WTF. He also drove like a Russian pilot. His English was limited and I haven't used Russian since I left Hungary more than 50 years ago. I couldn't figure out what was going on. Doesn't seem like the economics work, unless he stole the car.

Not sure if you're serious but that's awfully presumptuous. You do realize plenty of people Uber on the side of their normal, every day jobs, right? M3's arent cheap, maybe he's trying to make ends meet.

The average Uber driver makes $10 an hour when you account for vehicle service/depreciation. I would assume that no one in this forum makes under $10 an hour.
