Alright, let’s talk about this here car lift app thingy. You know, the one everyone’s yappin’ about these days. I ain’t no fancy tech person, but I figured out how to use it, so it can’t be that hard, right?

First off, you gotta get the app on your phone. My grandson, he done showed me. Said you go to that Google Play thing or the Apple Store, whatever that is. Sounds like a fancy grocery store for phone stuff if you ask me. Anyways, you punch in “Lyft” and there it is. Download it, whatever that means. Took a while on my phone, that’s for sure.

Then you open it up. It asks you where you wanna go. You gotta type it in. Now, my fingers ain’t made for typin’ on these tiny little letters, but I manage. You put in where you are, and then where you wanna go. Like, if I’m at the market and I wanna go home, I put in “market” and then “home.” Simple as that.

The app, it shows you how much it’s gonna cost. That’s important, you know? Gotta watch your pennies these days. They call it a “fare estimate.” Sounds fancy, but it just means they’re guessin’ how much it’ll be. Sometimes it’s right, sometimes it’s a little more, sometimes a little less. It depends, I guess.

• They got all sorts of cars, too.
• Big ones, small ones, some look fancy, some not so much.
• I don’t really care what it looks like, as long as it gets me where I need to go.
• But they got different prices for different cars, so you can pick what you want. Or what you can afford, I should say.

Now, some folks, they talk about another app, Uber they call it. Sounds like a German name or somethin’. My neighbor, she says it’s cheaper sometimes. But I don’t know, this Lyft thing works just fine for me. And it’s easy enough, even for an old gal like me.

One thing I like, is that you pay right there on the app. No need to fuss with cash. My grandson showed me how to hook up my bank card. Said it’s safer that way. I don’t know about safe, but it’s easier not having to count out change all the time. And you get a receipt, too, right there on your phone. So you know how much you spent.

They also say somethin’ ‘bout comparing prices, but I don’t bother with that. Too much fussin’ around for me. I just want a ride, not a headache. This app, Obi somethin’ or other, they say it does it for ya. Checks all the prices so you get the cheapest one. Sounds useful, but I’m stickin’ with what I know.

So, yeah, that’s the car lift app in a nutshell. You put in where you wanna go, they tell you how much it costs, and a car comes and picks you up. It’s like havin’ your own personal driver, but without all the fuss and bother. And it sure beats walkin’, especially when it’s hot as blazes outside or when my old bones start achin’.

The young folks, they use it all the time. Goin’ to parties, goin’ to work, goin’ everywhere. I mostly use it to go to the doctor or the grocery store. Sometimes to visit my sister, when I don’t feel like drivin’. It’s convenient, that’s for sure. And it makes life a little bit easier, which is all a body can ask for at my age.

They say you can’t pick your driver or the kind of car, but I never tried. Just happy to get a ride. And they say the price they show you might not be exact, cause traffic and such. But it’s usually close enough. And it’s easier than tryin’ to flag down a taxi, that’s for sure. Those things are hard to find these days.

So, if you’re lookin’ for a way to get around, and you don’t wanna drive or take the bus, give this car lift app a try. It ain’t perfect, but it gets the job done. And that’s good enough for me.

In conclusion, these here car lift apps, like this Lyft one, they’re pretty handy. Easy to use, even for someone who ain’t tech-savvy. Gets ya where ya need to go, and don’t cost an arm and a leg. What more could ya want?
