Hire a Limousine to Get Around

Angela and Wally Greenlawn live in New York City. They have lived in the city for thirty years and would never think of moving. A few years ago they sold their car in order to make life simpler and they are very happy to not own a car. With the money they save from parking fees, insurance, maintenance, car payments, and parking tickets they feel free to take taxis and rent vehicles whenever they need them. But they never considered a New York limousine until a few days ago.

This is what happened. Angela and Wally are gourmet cooks and appreciate fine dining. It was Wally's birthday and he wanted to go to a special restaurant in the Bronx, which is at the other end of New York from their apartment. They decided to rent a car for a few hours for the occasion. And were they ever sorry they didn't hire a New York car service instead.

As it turned out, Wally's birthday was the same day as opening day at the new Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. They're not baseball fans, so it didn't cross their minds that they'd have a problem getting to one of their favorite restaurants. Nor did they know that New York Yankees fans typically celebrate big time after the first game. And since it was also the inauguration of the elaborate and controversial new stadium, more fans were on the streets than ever.

As they hit the first wave of post-game traffic, Angela, who was driving, said to Wally, "I wish we had hired a limo to get around New York instead of renting a car." Wally replied, "A limousine wouldn't help, we'd still be stuck in all this New York traffic." "Maybe you're right," Angela agreed half-heartedly.

They crawled closer to the restaurant in their rental car. When they were within a few blocks of the restaurant, Angela said, "If we had called the New York limousine service instead of renting this car, we could get of the car now and walk the last couple of blocks. As it is, we're going to be late for our reservation."

When they finally pulled up to the restaurant, the valet told them that valet parking was full because of all the Yankees fans. Warren turned to Anita and said, "You're right about the limo. What are we going to do now? If we were in a limousine we wouldn't have to worry about parking. Next time we go out for dinner, let's call a New York limousine service." Anita agreed, "It doesn't cost any more than renting a car or taking a taxi, and it's so much more convenient. Next time, we'll hire a limousine to get around New York. We'll ride in luxury and arrive on time!"

Even though their birthday celebration was harried and hectic, they were satisfied with the evening because they made an important decision: From now on, Angela and Wally Greenlawn will use a New York limousine service.
