Or, you buy the Uber Driver pitch and buy a Uber approved 4 door car, and find you are working for less than minimum wage, or worse yet; you end up in Bankruptcy court?

I don't care that Uber is providing competition--I just don't like their business plan of hiring Drivers without any risk on their part. "Oh, but you're an Independent Contractor, but you need to drive a certain year four door car from our List.(A list that doesn't make a lot of sense? Oh yea, I have found selling a four door car on the secondary market is harder than selling a two door car; if your Uber job is not what they claimed?"

My point is I guess Uber provides great service for their customers, but I question the great experience for the "Independent Contractors"?

Sorry, but I saw Uber and had to chime in. Back on track--Twitter--that verification email I keep forgetting to fill out.

Interesting points - isn't that similar to how Twitter developers often feel? I often see comments here about "Don't build a business around Twitter" - seems actually somewhat similar.
