4/18/2004: Airplane limo

Undertoad · 04-18-2004, 09:55 AM

This was Farked so why not save it for a lazy Sunday? A Guadalaharan limo company bought an old 727-100, removed the wings and turned it into what must be the world's largest and finest limo. Costs $1000 for a three hour ride in the thing, and you still only have portholes to look out of (and the view isn't as nice).

$1000 for 3 hours? That's probably what it would cost to park that thing in Philadelphia or NYC.

Is this thing really allowed on the roads, or am I just being gullible?

Leah, I think they're a little more lenient in Mexico.
Hard to believe it only weighs 6 ton, outfitted that way. At 124 mph, even with air brakes, it better have a lot of room to stop.

For $1000, I could fly 3 hours in one with wings, and end up in a tropical paradise, getting waited on by submissive wenches .. instead of staying in the one city, and finding every pothole in every Guatemalan road ..

Ooops .. I meant Guadalaharan, not Guatemalan .. it's early in the morning where I am .. and the sugar hasn't kicked in yet ..

That limo must look extremely out of place since most of the cars in Guadalajara are tiny!

Do they make you watch the inflight movie in case there is a crash
Or does the O2 masks pop out if you hit potholes?

OH hell, I'm going to keep it real: If I had the money, I'd have to take one flight, just to see what it was like.

And God help me if I liked it...
