There's a bottle of spring water in the cup holder to my left and a pile of individually wrapped Life Savers under the armrest. A screen suspended from the ceiling is playing a DVD. But here's the real perk of this ride: I can surf the Web on my laptop from the back-seat of this automobile while Frank, the driver, takes me wherever I want...
