They also caused a fair amount of grief? Buying a 2008(2011 in NY?), or newer Uber approved four door automobile only to find that driving for Uber doesn't pan out economicaly?

Yes--we have free will, but they promised a bit too much, while micromanaging employees--oops Independent Contrators?

If the enticing employment opportunity doesn't work out as advertised; selling a used four door car is harder than two door sedans, at least when I was flipping cars? And those poor people who went out and bought nice, expensive Toyota hybrids on their once good credit?

And I have never figured out the reasoning behind this list of Uber approved vechicle:

I wish the company well, but they are an employer. Don't tell me what car I need to drive in order to give you money? You don't like my vechicle, don't hire me? I'm paying for this vechicle(A vechicle I wouldn't buy, but thought Uber was a good opportunity?). I'm paying the insurance? I'm taking the risks?

(I liked this company in the beginning, but with every new demand/fussy requirement, they lost my respect. I'm still a fan of Lyft--kind of--for now.)
