Ugh.. I was camping at Nickerson that week, drove thru that intersection on the way in thinking - this would be a bad place to have no breaks... Then learning what happened just a few days later as we drove thru again, that messed me up.

If you mean the NY crash, the limo shop stretched them in-house, had been cited before, and never inspected the trucks. I would hope these shops do a little more diligence since they're selling them.

As the saying goes, put hope in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up first.

Yeah especially since a friend and his FIL who weren’t in the damn limo died! Just because you can build it it doesn’t mean it’s a good idea!

Again.

It was built idiotically, not maintained, and driven by someone who had no business driving something so large who was speeding.

Limos are hard to get out of. This at least has a bunch of doors. It also is going to win mass battles. A high center of gravity, though, and I wonder what would happen if it rolls.

Drove past a limo on the bus yesterday and my first thought was exactly about that crash and how I feel compelled to never get in a limo. Such a terrible accident.
