Let's see, limos for prom encourage wild and crazy sex, I wonder what it does for elementary schools?
In a previous life, I drove limousines.
Seriously.
A 6 passenger stretch Town Car.
2 10 passenger stretch Town Cars.
Easy to drive.
A 14 passenger stretch Town Car.
A definite challenge to drive, but 3 lefts are better than a right, when fully loaded triple (at least) stopping distances, and don't expect to set any land speed records.
A 16 passenger stretch Excursion.
Easy to drive. Great visibility and there wasn't a curb made that it couldn't drive over (done properly, of course).
A 16 passenger stretch Hummer H2.
A complete bitch to drive. Curb-going-over capabilities of the Excursion, but narrower and with horrible visibility - small mirrors and gun slits for windows.
Proms? BTDT.
Weddings? BTDT.
Anniversaries? BTDT.
Suprise shopping trip? BTDT.
Birthday? BTDT.
Ohio State football game? BTDT.
Night out on the town? BTDT.
Trip to / from the airport? Too many to count.
Bachelorette party? Piece of cake, but remember that at the beginning of the night they're all bestest friends, and by the end of the night, there's a bitch, a whore, and a c... You know.
The worst, though?
Barry Manilow concert.
That night, I saw a stark transformation from sober and reasonably intelligent and easy to deal with, to drunk and . . . and . . . well, I told her to STFU.
The proms were easy for me. Some of the 'leaders' would try to either (1) take a 'gym bag' into the limo, or (2) try to con me in to buying them beer.
Situation 1 - the bag goes into the trunk and stays there, no matter what. (Like I was born last night, silly kiddies...)
Situation 2 - no. No argument, no debate - no. Period. Shut up, get in the car.
My first passengers as a limo driver?
Elementary kids on a lunch trip as a reward for something or other, with chaperones.
Piece of cake.
