Reason #51

...Because the most pimped out cab ride drives around our very own East End soliciting passengers keen for a little something else....

If you're East of Broadview and you're lucky enough to snag a cab with a neon blue sign that flashes "East End", you'll be greeted by: 

• A shrine-like ensemble of hundreds of figurines and collectibles acting as keepers of cab ride paradise
• Mini disco balls and flashing lights on the ceiling
• Two TVs with music videos of Michael Jackson's Thriller for your viewing pleasure
• Surround sound audio system to add to the "coolness" factor
• 10 magazines hanging off the back of the front seats for your reading pleasure
• An assortment of toys to entertain your kids, as if the collectibles aren't enough
• Neon-flashing "Welcome" sign to make you feel really at home
• And the great company of a cabbie who's been striving for 10 years to make his ride the pimpest ride ever. 

 One more reason to love Toronto now.
