Limo drivers don't necisarily have any special training (class b only required for over 8 passengers).
Also:
•the partition in a limo is NOT sound proof
•you shake the entire vehicle when you **** in the back
•it is only hard to drive when you're drunk *** is yelling from he back trying to ask the driver if it is hard to drive
•yes, you actually are the most annoying group to rent the limo

when I was a tech at Marin Acura back in 97-98 we only had one giant 55gal barrel of Penzoil 10-30 because most of the manual honda trans took 10-30 and they were too cheap to buy more than one barrel. Your car doesnt take 10-30? too bad! Oh, and the NSX thats supposed to take synthetic? Sure it got synthetic, I mean we charged them 4X as much for the oil so it has to be synthetic right?? 
Oh and BTW, we had a different price we charged for "Transmission fluid" too, even though its the exact same 10-30 we pumped in the motor and charged as oil. I always thought it was just because Marin Acura was ghetto but since I quit and now have my own business where I go to several dealerships all over the bay Ive seen the same ****.
Never take your car to a dealership for ANYTHING unless its being covered under warranty. We had a car with a weird whining noise coming from the front of the motor, idiot tech thought it was the AC compressor and replaced it. TWICE. Only to find out it was the bearing in the idler going out. So 2 perfectly good AC compressors got billed out and junked because delaership techs dont know how to diagnose for ****, who cares, its warranty, just bill to Acura right? well when its not under warranty they bill it to YOU! Seriously, we had a whole shipping container in the back where we stored all of the parts that were replaced under warranty, I'll estimate 90% of them were fine and just replaced out of trail/error and after the 90 days we had to keep them in case headquarters wanted to claim them, they got thrown in the trash. Literally THOUSANDS of dollars of good parts every month get thrown out at every dealership in the US, and you wonder why so many foreign manufacturers are reluctant to bring the cool cars over to the US, the dealerships here eat up all the profit margin with BS warranty claims!
Long story short, go here before you pay for anything from the dealership. https://www.i-club.com/forums/bay-ar...ere%2A-229928/
And oh yeah, that $800 "paint sealant" they sell you when you buy a new car is just a hand wax job that their detailer squirts out of a big jug. costs them prob .25 cents and whatever they pay their detailer for an hour of time, so prob $10.25 total for them for a hand wax job you can get ant any decent detailer (with better wax!) for around $60 bucks. Talk about a cash cow!

Never Buy Monster Cables... They are no better than Radio Shack stuff...
People who buy high priced HDMI cables make me laugh... They are digital cables... There is zero difference

i use monster cables exclusively for my guitar rig. they are built much nicer than any of the other ones and can be returned at any guitar center no questions asked. it shorted out? heres a new one. you cut it half with scissors? heres a new one.
