Stars in our cars!

Whenever someone finds out that I own a limo company, they always seem to want to know if we have ever had any celebrities in our cars. Well, even though we have only been in business for two and a half years, we have actually had quite a few. Probably the best known is Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics. The funniest would have to be Adam Carolla, and largest would probably be Chris Webber.

Other athletes include WNBA All Star, ESPN Analyst and now Olympian Kara Lawson, whom we transported to and from her recent wedding and Dallas Mavericks star guard Jason Terry (who found my wallet that I had left in the car from the night before).

We have even had a cartoon character – Dora the Explorer (well actually it is young woman who plays her in real life). This was for a Make a Wish ride, and in my book, all of the wish kids and their families are celebrities!

Well known locals include Diana Penna of Channel 13, Grant Napear and Mike Lamb of KHTK and Channel 31’s Mark S. Allen and Tina Macuha. We have also had the Mayor of Sacramento but as Mark Twain once said, if you can’t say anything nice about someone…

Who will be next? Looks like this weekend we will have Mixed Martial Arts fighters Robbie Lawler and Scott Smith (in separate cars of course!).
