On my way to Racine yesterday morning I cruised pass this beast traveling southbound and I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a super stretched Lincoln SUV with what looked like a hot tub in the rear behind the axles, 4 large windows between doors, and a goofy looking bald white guy in a tux driving.

I have heard of these tanks sagging from years od abuse, but never seen it in person. This truck was sagging 6-9 inches in the middle and the rocker panels had more bondo then my 62 caddy needed when I sold it :rolf The soft top in the rear was peeling up aroudn the edges, the paint looked sun faded and was cracking / peeling all over, it looked like the rear axle was tracking way left, just rediculous.

Needless to say, I would be pissed if I paid for a stretched limo and this thing showed up. Wish I would have taken a photo, it was the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

Please don't call those monstrosities limos. It's a stretched truck or sedan. A limousine is a different kind of vehicle, chauffeur driven, usually privately owned.

over 95% are not privately owned. Most people that have a full time chauffeur have an S class Mercedes or something of the like.
