Pina Colada
What is a stretch hummer limousine, and what does it offer?
You see them in the news, in the tabloids, on TV shows-people having a great time, smiles beaming, as they walk proudly from their sleek stretch hummer limousines onto the red carpet.
Whether or not your reaction has been that could be me! you may want to learn more about these trendy machines and how you and your friends could take a ride in one.
First let's understand what a stretch hummer is in the first place. They're a conversion from the ever-popular-despite-high-gas-prices Hummer H2. They ride on an extra long wheel base, and are driven by a chauffeur. They're double the original H2 vehicle length, which is about as far as the manufacturer can go because of federal restrictions on lengthening the hummer more than twice its original model length.
Because hummers' construction begins on a gigantic truck bed with a much wider-than-average track, the stretch hummer limousine is high off the ground, and extremely wide. Your chauffeur will definitely not try to fit this across two parking spaces, nor can any driver fit the hummer within the width provided by standard parking spots.
These stretch limousines will not get the best gas mileage. You can predict what a stretch hummer might get by considering how it's very likely much less efficient than the Hummer H2. Here are some reports on the H2's mileage: Motortrend gives it 12mpg; Car and Driver, 10mpg; About.com, 8.6mpg; Edmunds, 9.2mpg; and Four Wheeler, 10.8mpg. Let's just say nobody's riding in these limousines to cut back on greenhouse gases.
Yes, it's is a veritable monster, but a stylish one. Check it out:
To make up for the restricted length, the limousine company adds all sorts of luxuries. It's a long list, but you'll want to know all the different kinds of fun you can have on this momentous ride.
The limousine service may have a fleet of stretch hummers with a varying combination of the following amenities, toys, and gadgets:
A bar with drinks is fairly common and standard, and look for crystal glasses, too. Polished counters and neon lights are a common attraction. Even sinks with running water. Plasma televisions, DVD players, surround sound, satellite radio, and video game consoles should keep your crew entertained until you reach your destination. Mirrored ceilings and crystal chandeliers might be a departure from your usual atmosphere at home. If you need anything, feel free to talk to the chauffeur through the intercom system-this way you don't have to break the physical privacy barrier between you and the driver. And telephones allow you to call any friends and family stuck at home.
These big vehicles come in an assortment of colors, too. Silver, black, white, yellow, zebra-patterned. You can get leopard interiors, hardwood floors.
Here are some price ranges you can expect, based on where you live, how long you'll want the stretch hummer, and what luxuries you choose: $150 per day, $180 per day, and $320 are not unusual charges for the stretch hummer limousine service.
Who should hire a stretch hummer limousine service?
Virtually any celebratory occasion could call for a stretch hummer limousine. Prom night is especially popular. Teenagers are decked out in formal wear, getting ready for what's supposed to be one of the most enjoyable and most pivotal moments in their young lives. A stretch hummer is exceptionally roomy and can provide a whole ton of fun extras like plasma screens and, for these adventurous teenagers, a dry bar equipped with all the necessities for a virgin pina colada.
Weddings, anniversaries, and client entertainment could be a big draw as well. Think: Are you trying to impress someone and have a good time simultaneously? Then you may have answered your question as to whether you want to go out in a stretch hummer limousine.
How about the benefits and drawbacks to stretch hummers?
We've gone over this limousine's poor gas mileage performance. That's to be expected. But get this: Consumerreports.org rated the Hummer the worst large-size SUV in existence. Remember, the stretch hummer is just an elongated Hummer SUV.
Notice how the Hummer's gas mileage has to be reported by consumer reporting outlets and rating organizations (above), instead of by the manufacturer. That's because General Motors-the producer of the hummer line-doesn't have to submit fuel economy testing numbers to the EPA for Hummers. They're so large and heavy, that the current law doesn't require their gas mileage to be reported to the government.
Consumerreports.org calls even the stretch Hummer's little brother-the Hummer H2-"a fuel guzzling leviathan."
Of course, what's so unusual about all this? All limousines have lousy gas mileage anyway.
Then again, if you're looking to have a good time, and the environmental impact of your night out is not the issue, then stretch hummers could provide you with an optimally entertaining way of getting from point A to point B, and any stops in between where you want to show passersby your awesome ride.
The bottom line with stretch hummers.
Stretch hummer limousines aren't only long and roomy, they can provide you with drinks, entertainment, and absolute luxury for a fashionable night out. These may be super gas guzzlers, but to the right people, they're the apex of fun.
