the total fare includes the fare back to new york. i once took a cab from new york to cape cod... not on my dime, but it was a fun time.

You took the bait. By offering crappy, fake "Brooklyn" pizza Dom**o's got free publicity out of you.

Great story, two old farts taking a 2500 mile trip to their retirement in Arizona. Finally some good news outta the tri-state area.

Ooof, that one 's' has GOT to be killing you, ck. Back! Back! Too late. But look at the bright side - there could be a Gothamist editorial position on the way.

Cute cats. Sedona won't be nice for much longer. Even the mountains are falling victim to DUH DUH DUH! global warming. The snowpack's melting, the trees are dying, it's getting warm up there.

And Sedona is up in the mountains-it's nowhere near as hot as Phoenix or Tucson-the weathar there is probably a lot better than New York's. Sort of jealous of them-Ive driven around Flagstaff/Grand Canyon/Sedona and thought that would be a great place to spend a good chunk of time-it's very relaxing in that part of the US.

They will probably be living in a retirement center where they wont have to go anywhere. I love old people. This makes me miss my parents.

If they don't drive what the hell are they going to be when they get to Arizona? Hitchhike? Wait 2 hours for the bus in the blazing sun? Just stay at home all the time?

I hope he gets a fare on the way back or else the next time I want to cab it to Arizona, the cabbie will claim to be off-duty.

I can see this story ended up with the couple and the driver and their respective agents going to court over movie rights.

The Escape taxis are not bad in the room department, so the trip would be much better than in a Crown Vic. As for why the story is so popular, it is because it is one of these great only in New York stories.
