THINK taxicab confessions I have a cousin in San Diego that I visit a couple times a year. Beautiful city you guys have there… I hear it’s America’s Finest. But, to be honest, I couldn’t live there. I’m just not the car-owning type. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t dislike cars; it’s just that I like my cars yellow and waiting at the curb with a driver and a meter that quietly ticks each fifth of a mile. One of the best things about taxis is that, when I get out of the car, I’ve immediately erased the vehicle from my memory. I don’t have to circle the block endlessly looking for a space or remember where I parked it, and I don’t worry about having a second glass of wine at dinner—there’s always a half a dozen designated drivers circling the block. It’s true that NYC traffic can be more brutal than rush hour at the merge on the 5 north (I still don’t get the whole “The” thing with California freeways), but then there’s an entire network of sleek subway trains that can zip me to any point in Manhattan in 30 minutes flat. I’m not totally immune to car-envy, though. There are days at the grocery store when I wish I could fill up the trunk with bulk rolls of paper towels or a couple cases of beer rather than be limited to what my two arms can carry the five blocks back to my apartment. And, on days when I want to take a nice day trip out of town, I have to wait in line at Avis with all the other car-less New Yorkers who had the same idea. But I’ve never had Porsche envy. The idea of the status-car is lost on me. I’d choose a pair of 4-inch Louboutins as my high-end mode of transportation over a new 5 Series any day. Plus, when I’m riding in a taxi, I can relax with the latest copy of Pacific San Diego, the nation’s second best magazine. -Ann Ann Shoket is editor-in-chief of Seventeen Magazine. She has lived in New York City for 18 years and has three pairs of Louboutins. photo by stephen danelian 54 | SEPTEMBER 2008 « PACIFICsandiego.com
