Default Strange question: Would anyone if they could use their Vette as an Uber?

Hi everyone,

Had a weird thought last night while walking my dog I passed a parked car that had an Uber tag on it. Not sure what type of car qualifies as an Uber or if a two door car can be one.

I would never consider it personally, but maybe others have to make a few extra bucks. Of course you can only take one person.

Just want to put this out there.

Steve

LOL! Uber requires a 4 door vehicle... At best, the 'vette has 3...
Other than that, I doubt many 'vette owners would want the "unwashed masses" bringing Starbuck's super creamy pumpkin lattes into their cars...

According to Uber's website, you can only use a 2 door car for deliveries. Uber Eats, etc.

I used my Honda S2000 as a delivery car once back in college!

I used my C6 for delivering Meals On Wheels weekly for a few years, but unlikely use the C7 as an Uber, even if possible!

Someone (DeadMau5, maybe?) was doing Uber in a Lamborghini just for fun.

Maybe, if you could screen your riders to only include 'hot women'

The 1LTs would likely be used if they did allow it.

Not for me - I do not want a bunch of strangers getting into/out of my Vette.

I hate driving slow and would scare the **** out of all the passengers and probably get fired on day 1.

Parker Nierenstein of Vehicle Virgins does that once in awhile.
