Hummer limo? Pfft! F-650 limo? Please. You think that's the weirdest limousines get? Well...OK, so did we. We thought a hot pink stretch Hummer was the most bizarre limo in existence. We were very, VERY wrong.
Your eyes do not deceive you: that is a stretch (well, to use the term loosely) Volkswagen Bug. If you look closely, it even has the license plate “LIMO BUG”, just to get the point across that these people chose what amounts to a station wagon to ride around in. (At least it’s a cute station wagon.)
We're not really sure what the story is behind this particular limo. We know it's a Mini Cooper, or, rather, two Minis seemingly welded together in some unholy union (look in the back: there's a steering wheel). But the flames? The stretch? The paintjob? Don't ask us. We don't know. We don't want to.
Why, yes, that is in fact a stretch Ferrari. What we like about this design is that it really does look like it's about to snap in half, possibly out of shame for being made to look so utterly ridiculous. Somewhere, Enzo is crying.
We guess this qualifies as a “limo”. It's long. It's got a lot of seats. It's ostentatious. It obviously isn't cheap.
On the other hand, is there a country in the world that will actually let you drive this beast on the road?
We can't mock this. This is brilliant. Somebody sat down and thought “what's the best way to announce that I absolutely mean business, need to get to where I'm going, and will brook no crap in my way?” And hit on this. Traffic is no longer an excuse: you can go over it!
The Jeep limo! Because, uh...well...we guess if you were in a place without a lot of roads, and wanted to get somewhere in style, your options are kind of limited. We'd really hate to see how this thing performs on a terrible back road, though. Also, if you hit a mud puddle...what happens?
When you absolutely, positively need to get somewhere on time, don't resort to this. The Anaconda or “Hawg Limo” seems like a terrible idea simply because motorcycles are designed to go fast, and this seems roughly as safe above speeds of five miles an hour as making a pass at Mike Tyson's sister.
Now this, on the other hand, is what the perpetually tardy desperately need. OK, so you'll show to the big meeting or the gala premiere or your own wedding with helmet hair and possibly some bugs in your teeth. On the other hand, you will be on time.
There isn’t anything capitalism can produce that Communist states can’t poorly imitate, and as proof, we offer this, the Trabant limousine. The Trabant was an East Germany car famous for being so bad the Yugo trembles in shame to be from the same area. We bet this limo lived up to Trabant's sterling reputation.
Finally, we have this, the infamous “Art Limo”. Supposedly worth $1,000,000 or so, at least according to the guy who tried to sell it. We're not sure of the Blue Book value, but we think that might be just a little high.
