Tony Stewart to drive Las Vegas taxi for day

Wow, the recession is really hitting everyone hard. If you’re in Vegas this week and notice your cab-driver to be ill-tempered and quick to violence (even more so than usual), you might want to ask for an autograph. NASCAR super-driver and known hothead Tony Stewart will be taking a street-legal version of his alternate Office Depot wheels up and down the strip in Sin City, giving rides to the pimps, bookies, and Midwestern tourists alike.
It should be a cheap meter at least.
No word on whether there will be an additional drafting fee or fuel-wasting surcharge (but considering it’s Vegas and they can charge money for those, you can probably count on ‘em).
A bit of advice? Stay in the car during pit-stops. Despite what the city’s motto would have you believe, I’m pretty sure getting shot will follow you home. Even with a NASCAR driver at the wheel, safety first.

But will the cab turn right? hahahahahahahaha

How cool would that be to be a Tony fan and grab a cab and him be driving!

Wish I was heading to Vegas this week....

I've think it funny if Tony's cousin tries to give him a speeding ticket or some other kind of ticket while on the road just for the fun of it.

wish it could be me that got that ride
