The website for the radio station 1010 WINS, that I often read for the local news, has an article titled Handsome Cab Strikes Car in Manhattan. Although I'm sure it was a fine-looking vehicle, I think it was probably a Hansom Cab, a horse-drawn carriage named after its inventor Joseph Hansom.
And, while I'm at it, I'm pretty sure "e.g." means "for example" (exempli gratia) and "i.e." means "that is" (id est). Not that I've seen them used incorrectly recently...

I'm watching you, Nooprah.
