Metallica Extravagant Limo Will Amaze You

Forbes recently interviewed the band’s infamous drummer Lars Ulrich.

Steve Baltin: What is the one song for you that gets a room jumping?

Lars Ulrich: I would say in my circles, if I’m hanging with my crew, my peoples, it’s Oasis “Supersonic.” It’s got this thing where people just start singing along and kind of forgetting about whatever is going on. It becomes this communal thing. So many of their songs have that spirit where it becomes this communal exercise, but “Supersonic” is slightly above the rest of them.

Baltin: It used to be musicians teaming with brands, especially in rock, was taboo. Now that’s obviously changed. Talk about how you guys have been stretching out and enjoying doing that.

Ulrich: Obviously the music is the nuts and bolts and the music is the total foundation everything is built on, but it’s not limited to the music and I think that’s really something that’s changed a lot in the stigma, the attitudes, the way that people relate to cultural entities and creative entities.

California Passes Limousine Safety Bill

(LATEST NEWS from Sacramento, CA) http://www.elitechicagolimo.com

A group of lawmakers in California has been working on new set of rules and regulations that will ensure the security of all limousines in the US. The new rules will be applied for all the limos manufactured in 2015 and later.

Two road accidents where stretch limousines caught fire with passengers inside were basis for the new set of rules. One accident was tragic for 5 women; in the other instance nobody was hurt. However, the incidents were not overlooked and sparked passionate debates whether limousine industry is safe enough.Ellen Corbett pushes for a 109 safety bill on limousines, suvs, sedans and party buses

The limousine that caused the tragedy had two doors on the rear of the vehicle that wouldn’t open unless opened from the driver’s cabin. The small window in the partition between the rear of the vehicle and the chauffeurs area saved 4 women that managed to squeeze through it.

California state senator Ellen Corbett initiated the debate by publicly claiming modern limousines lack emergency windows and exits: “If only this vehicle had an emergency exit on the roof of in the windows, this tragedy could have been prevented”. The news went viral in Chicago.

The bill, named CB 109, was passed earlier this week. New regulations will be implemented not only in California, but also in New York, Illinois and other states. Chicago will be one of the first big cities to apply the rules since limo industry is one of the major providers of transportation for locals here.

Here are some excerpts from the bill. These include new rules and regulations.

Limousines, carrying 10 or less passengers must have:

  • Four emergency doors/windows that could be pushed out from the inside. (2 windows and 2 doors)
  • The door controls can no longer be at the driver’s cabin. All the doors must open directly from the passengers compartment. This rules out child safety locks.
  • The driver must introduce the limousine safety features to the client before every run, similarly to the airlines before departure of the plane.

All limousines, manufactured before 2015, will have 2 years to implement aforementioned features.

However, some Chicago limousine companies question these rules, especially the one that ruled out door safety locks. “We have seen drunk clients trying to open the doors of the moving  SUV limo Chicago. It often happens when they get sick inside the limousine. If these door locks will be eliminated, we will see more injuries and people falling out of moving vehicles in the middle of the road…” “These rules are not perfect”, says Chicago Limo Service CEO.

However, the legislation does not address this particular issue. They are considering another bill that will regulate fire extinguishers in all the limousines and luxury vehicles.

November Elections Have Everyone At The Edge Of Their Seats

Clint Eastwood Stepping Out Of A Chicago Limo Looking at an Empty ChairWith the economy slowing, the world crises deepening, and people becoming ever more impatient, the upcoming November elections will be a turning point in the history of our modern society.  Everyone knows this and locally, Chicago has seen a shift in political turmoil and discourse that has caused an epic clash between Republicans and the Democrats.

Obama, a philanthropist and an eloquent speaker, is facing a vulture capitalist Mitt Romney who is perhaps better fit to run the country as a business.  The main problem, however, is the politics of the “empty chair”, which Clint Eastwood has alluded to in his infamous rant at the Republican Convention. While everyone is quick to point the finger at the shortcomings of each party in their business and Chicago office conversations, no one is willing to go into details and argue their point without bias.  If there ever has been a bigger schism in our society, this would certainly rival it.

And though the people are split in their support for either candidate, it appears that those who are rich enough to step out of limousines in Chicago are more likely to vote for Romney, and those who are savvy enough to venture on a Chicago party bus, are more likely to vote for Obama.  Such is the trend, since folks who have a greater access to capital are more inclined to protect their wealth with a Republican vote, and those who seek an equal playing field are sticking to the Democratic principles.

Nevertheless, only time will tell who will win this epic battle between two giant political images and how the winner will shift the direction of America going forward.  Here in Chicago, folks are eager to see the results of the election, but are even more anxious to see actual change brought to their city and their economic welfare.
