Limousine Inspector Taken for a Dangerous Ride in Illegal Limo
A chauffer of an illegal limo in Brooklyn, New York gave a Limousine Commission inspector the ride of his life recently after getting caught in an illegal limo sting operation. Shortly after hailing an illegal fare, limo driver Abdourahamane Barry, 37, learned that his fare was actually an undercover inspector for New York’s Taxi and Limousine Commission. The inspector had just negotiated a $15 fare for a relatively short trip and climbed into the back of the limo when he announced the bust and told his driver he was going to get a ticket. Instead of accepting the fine, the chauffeur tried to speed away from the TLC inspector who had been standing with a group of other inspectors as part of their sting operation.

California Girl Receives Limo Ride and Quinceañera She Will Never Forget
A 15-year-old California girl who has struggled with life-threatening health problems for the last three years got a limo ride and a quinceañera she and her family will never forget thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Berenice Jasso is a young lady from Escalon, California and the daughter of farm workers who thought they might lose their daughter due to kidney problems that confounded doctors. Shortly before she turned 14, her parents learned that Berenice’s kidneys were failing, and doctors could not identify the reason. Within a year of the diagnosis, both of her kidneys were removed, and Berenice lived for four months with frequent trips to a dialysis clinic to stay alive while they waited for a kidney to become available.

Friends Coming to Town for the Fourth? Rent a San Francisco Limo!
The long, three-day Fourth of July weekend is coming up soon. If you have friends and/or family planning a visit to the Bay Area that weekend and you want to show them a good time while you show them around, we humbly suggest renting one of our San Francisco limos! Renting a limo is practical, affordable and allows everyone, including you, to relax and have a good time while you show off our glorious city and the natural beauty of the Bay Area. If you’re looking for ideas for your limo excursion, we have some suggestions that are worthy of your consideration, and they will probably kick-start some ideas of your own! A few of our ideas for weekend fun include the following:
Mini Cooper Limo Features Whirlpool
Occasionally, we like to write about custom limos that feature improbable combinations of amenities. In the past, we have talked about limos built from scraps from other limos, a custom limousine made from an airplane fuselage, custom limos with wild color schemes and many other unlikely or remarkable limousines. The custom limousine for this blog post is equally unusual and unlikely: a Mini Cooper limo that features a two-person whirlpool in the back. This custom limo transcends two unlikely limo categories. For one, it’s a limousine made from one of the smallest passenger automobiles in the world. Secondly, it features a whirlpool within a space that is best described as “cozy” for one person, much less two. Still, this custom limo is so odd that we had to write about it as we often have unusual features in some of the San Francisco limousines in our fleet.
Honor Students Treated to Limousine Ride
Five honor students from an elementary school in Michigan were rewarded for their diligence and scholastic achievement recently with a limousine ride complete with a stop for lunch. The five kids attend Village Oaks Elementary School in Novi, Michigan, and their hard work earned them two hours off from school, a trip to McDonald’s, the pinnacle of culinary rewards for any elementary school kid, and over two hours riding around in the back of a Hummer limousine. We like writing about these types of stories because school kids who excel in sports get all kinds of perks and accolades for their athletic prowess, and we feel that academic athletes should be rewarded as well! If you know of a deserving group of Bay Area kids who have worked hard all year and earned outstanding grades, reward them with a San Francisco limousine from us to reinforce positive behavior!

Here at NLS Limo, we are passionate and unapologetic lovers of all things Rolls-Royce.

Rolls is calling their new ultra-luxury saloon the Ghost Extended Wheelbase. The new model is designed specifically for those who require extra legroom in a luxury limousine. Since the automaker announced the longer version of their lovely Ghost model back in 2009, demand has skyrocketed, and the automaker has scrambled to fill orders without compromising its reputation for quality and craftsmanship.
Bay Area Limousines Are the Perfect Transportation to Summer Concerts!
