Talk of the Town

Ahhhh here we go again! Im do for a solid rant, as if my Affliction Rant wasn’t enough. Nope it sure wasn’t. It seems that once again the loyal hard working staff that has worked for me for a long time is in the spotlight again, or at least the company that they work for is. Back in April of 2004 when we Grand opened our first Indoor Tanning Salon (Extreme Tan and Smoothies) we quickly had a bunch of the salons in the area spreading rumors, calling the Health Department with bullshit claims and bad mouthing Extreme Tan and Smoothies at every chance they got. Way back when I thought that was some funny shit and we always kept a level head as we continued on our path of running an honest, clean, quality indoor tanning salon while we offered our customers the best values, events and tanning experiences in the Tampa Bay area. The haters as you will began to fall, one by one and I can list them all if you would like…. Shit I even have a shirt that has the Tomb stones of the salons in the area that vanished after we started taking care of their customers and employees, something they failed to do. Since than we have gone on to tan more people than any salon or tanning salon franchise in the area, we work closely with the Health Department in setting new standards for safe tanning and customer care.

Now here we find ourselves again, The Talk of The Town. Insane Limos didn’t take long to grab local attention with the arrival of our first Limo our Barbie Pink Hummer. Things have not changed much since than with the arrival of our Escalade and of course Andre our Ford F-650 limo. We have had the normal “shoppers” call in, which are your other Limousine company owners trying to figure out your shit. I have had personal phone calls from other Limo Cheaffeurs pretending to be my best bud just to dig for information or boast about some bullshit about how great they are.

Recently I had a phone conversation with someone that has been in the Limousine business for a long time, it’s the same someone that like to cry about how bad the Limo business under one breath than screams about how they make $6,000 in tips in a day. Funny shit. Im use to dealing with people like this in business so it’s no big deal, what is a big deal however is how this same person went on to tell me how anyone selling Limo rides for $75 an hour doesn’t understand the business. This same person went on over and over again to explain to me how much “I don’t understand”, or how “I don’t get it” when it comes to following what every other Limo company does and being different than how everyone else does stuff is ruining the Limousine Business and how it’s not fair to other Limousine companies. Like it’s a fucking cult or some shit. This person  is the one who doesn’t get it and this person is the one who doesn’t understand, Im not a follower and ultimatley Im not concerned about what other Limo company owners are doing or how they run their business. I care about taking care of our customers with honest pricing, great service and specials that offer added value to our customers when we have the ability to do them.

It seems as if the Limo world is much like the tanning world was before Extreme Tan and Smoothies came along, full of people that resent anything that might be new, anything that might be different and of course anyone who doesn’t want to play their little games. I have yet to hear one Limo owner say anything positive in regards to Insane Limos and to be honest that tells me that we are doing everything right and they fucking hate it. Maybe I should attend the next “Big Meeting” like the name dropper above has tried to tell me I “Must do” because ALL the Big Limo owners and ALL the big shots are there, and maybe when I attend that meeting I can explain to everyone how I am more than a nice guy, more than reasonable and more than happy to work WITH anyone…. Than I should end it by letting everyone know that Insane Limos has a gameplan and Im no fucking fool, I don’t follow, I don’t envy the big shots and I can give less than two shits about making sure everyone is happy with what we are doing. The fact remains we are a new Limousine company with different ideas, a different staff, and firm goals…. Firm goals that don’t allow us to kiss anyone’s ass, firm goals that don’t allow us to rip off our customers and firm goals that don’t require following any specific DICKtatorship. Hate us if you will and keep us the The Talk of the Town we appreciate it, and IF your a Limousine company owner and you want to work maturley and honestly together than give us a scream and we will be more than happy to do so. The rest can kiss my ass.
