If you’re a taxi driver, ideally you want a car that’s roomy and frugal. Something like a five-year-old Skoda Superb, perhaps. Evald Jåstad is no ordinary taxi driver though, as he has a Ford Focus RS as his work wheels. And in 18 months, he’s clocked a heroic 78,000 miles. Presumably free of any head gasket issues

The World's Coolest Taxi Driver Has A Ford Focus RS As His Work Wheels

His stomping ground is the town of Odda, Norway and its stunning surroundings, where locals have taken to calling the RS ‘Blue Lightning’. He lives locally with his wife and two kids, and his young son clearly loves riding in his dad’s unconventional cab.

Looks like a pretty sweet life to us…
