You say "responsible cab drivers must have not one, but two taxicabs, in
order to provide service in the event of a failure.  Therefore, I bought
one from Fisher-Price, and one from Hot Wheels, and I'm astounded to find
that neither provides me with the luxury which I expected."  I think
Patrik may have been suggesting that if you had a Checker, you might not
need to worry quite so much about redundancy.
