If tooling around Manhattan in advertisements for the third-season premiere of HBO's Boardwalk Empire is your idea of a good time, the Uber car service can make that dream a reality. Just download the company's Android or iPhone app to schedule a spin today, between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., in 1920s-era Bentleys, Packards, Rolls-Royces and such. Last year's big NYC Boardwalk promo, offering rides in a vintage subway car, was more impressive. Plus, Uber us locked in a regulatory battle with traditional taxi firms.
