His second 'hack' made me chuckle though:

> Hack #2 – Rent a car

> * $20/day (huge savings over taxi costs)

> * No taxi lines (massive time savings over taxi line)

> * FREEDOM! Go where you want when you need to. . .huge advantage for getting more done while your competitors are restricting their movement due to taxi constipation
