Today was a busy driving around day. It started off with me jumping into a VW Santana 3000 with the most well protected driver in China. Most taxi cages are made out of tubing spaced to allow for the exchange of payment and also to prevent an average fist from getting through and making contact with the driver's right cheek bone or an average size fist from coming out of the protected region while it is clenching RMB bills. Either way, today's taxi's cage had an additional lining that kept anything except finger from getting through. I'm sure there is a really cool story behind the motivation to add the additional protective coating. I wouldn't doubt if the driver has a little button on the dashboard that runs juice and electrifies the cage if you go buck wild.
Now for the good stuff. On my ride between factories, I got chauffeured in the elegant luxury of a gold colored Honda Civic. It had camel tone velour seats hidden under lace seat covers (shown in the photo), power everything, and was impeccably clean on the inside. The driver was charismatic without being obnoxious. All the ingredients for a nice ride. The bonus? Well...on the dash was a Glade A/C vent air freshener AND a Monte Carlo 700! Can you believe this? Double the pleasure! Every detail was considered, the Glade wasn't filled with the nasty yellow colored freshening fluid I reported about earlier. Instead it was filled with a red smell juice that matched the MC 700 perfectly. I couldn't enjoy the scent combo because the new car smell still lingered on this ride. But it was one of those times where you just sit back, look out the window, and realize that being solidgold has its benefits.
