Lyft stock has lost nearly 50% of it's value since the IPO. So, it is probably a bad investment at least.
Gotcha. I hadn't realized that Divvy was owned by Lyft.

This was my exact thoughts before i tried one too. They handle some pretty serious bumps well. The issue is that they go so damn fast. Like 30mph fast. That's what gets people in trouble.
Unrelated old blueprint that looked to be hand drawn. I thought it was pretty cool since i am normally always using digitally created prints. Though i'm sure this isn't uncommon for a lot of people. Especially you Joe, working with all your legacy equipment.

Earlier in the year, I put the right-front wheel of my car into a pothole which brought the car to a dead stop from around 15 MPH. It bent the upper and lower control arms and broke the wheel, and I had to use the jack to lift that corner of the car up out of the hole (and put weight back onto the left-rear) so that I could back out of it. (Essentially, I just drove backwards and let the jack tip over as I went.)

That's one area where I'm fortunate. We do have a room full of blueprints from the early 60s concerning the building structural & mechanical stuff, but have been using electronic documentation of one kind or another for the broadcast stuff since the 80s. And so far as I know, none of it has been lost or corrupted. We have a really top-notch IT and broadcast engineering team here.
Dealing with old formats is sometimes challenging. Until about two years ago, we still had a few DOS machines to access the legacy wiring database, which was in FoxPro. I converted that to an Excel spreadsheet.
And, God bless AutoDesk, I can still open an AutoCAD drawing from the 1980s (sometimes via a convoluted conversion process) today.
