Just got the Zippos and can honestly say they look even better in person! A big thank you to Zippo and everyone that took part in organizing this giveaway and a big thank you to my grandma for giving me the lucky number!
I preordered as soon as it opened a year or two ago but canceled my order when I found out you don’t offer the ability to turn off one pedal driving. Other manufacturers have the ability to offer that and use the first bit of brake pedal travel as regen. Such and easy thing to include, massive oversight to not offer it. I hope you add it in the future, otherwise I hope your company fails :)
Edit: I’m doing this because I was a customer and don’t enjoy being lied to. When I spoke to the sales team initially, I was told the option for one pedal driving would be just that, an option, not the only way to do it. I paid my deposit and waited patiently only to find out I had been lied to. Therefore they can go f--- themselves :)
I keep seeing issues with drivers rating riders with 1 star for any number of trivial reasons and riders rating drivers 1 star for an equally large number of ridiculous reasons. Seeing as these rating have real world implications regarding earning and potential ride availability, I think uber should block or limit driver and riders that abuse the rating system and/or overuse low ratings, perhaps even requiring an explanation for low ratings that can be anonymized and given as suggestions to the rated driver or rider so that, in an effort to improve their overall experience, they can modify their behavior.
Don’t know anyone else that has Zippos and nobody in my family or circle gives a single solitary F about them so I’m glad to have found this motley crew of zealots here!
Satin Chrome with dual flame insert (yellow flame and torch)
Copper 03 with 3rd party electric insert
Copper 03 with Zippo electric insert
Copper 03 with 3rd party insert that has great fuel retention
Copper 22 with Zippo electric insert
Street Brass with 3rd party electric insert
The two on the right (3 and 6) are my every day lighters that go in any pocket, come what may, while the other 4 are the ones currently in various areas of the house and are treated with caution. And for anyone curious, the brass one was stripped of the coating, left to oxidize, then thrown into use.
And to answer your question: yes, I am aware I may have a bit of a problem with copper zippos and I DO like trains as well, why do you ask?
Such crazy behavior, I can’t support a company that behaves this way and files frivolous lawsuits against small companies.
