I guess too many "normal" people are using limos for weddings and proms these days, it's no longer "cool" for a celeb to do so.

Actually many very wealthy people eschew limousines because they are ostentatious. They are also very difficult to get in to and out of places because of their size.

Even if it's not a limo, per se, why not get a freakin' driver??

It must be SO much fun to drive a BMW on coke, that's the only excuse I can think of at this point.

@heidesha: Oh yeah, the only way to truly appreciate that German engineering is all coked up.

We should get a cross-post with Jalopnik on this one.

One way to make all limos cool:

Get Sabine Schmidt as the driver for your M5. Sit in the passenger seat.

Enjoy. A lot.

@Heatherly:

You don't get a driver to chauffer you around in a car like the one La Lohan was driving, though.

when you're that coked up, you lose sight of reason

not that I would know

Limos are neither very comfortable nor practical... There's little to be achieved by taking a lincoln and adding 4-12 feet in the middle.

At this point if you need a driver and more than 3 passengers you roll in the ute, or take more than one car.

your s-class ls460 or 760li to say nothing of the maybach are sufficiently comfortable for the rear seat passengers...

I can't wrap my head around the fact that these girls continue to drive. I've always said that the first thing I'll do when my fortune comes in is get a driver. Not just so I can imbibe to my heart's content, but mostly because I hate driving!

I think the limo has never recovered from when they delved into pink range-rover versions.

@TrixieBelden: I agree. You'd think they'd figure out they were not only easy targets for the paparazzi, but for the police as well. Drunken starlets are the new pistol-packing rappers.

I'd rather drive my chevy on weed than a bmw on coke.

If they went the tinted-glass, hired driver route, then they wouldn't end up on TMZ so easily. And isn't that the point, Brit, Linds, Paris?

@PetiteGal: Shit, I'd have one on retainer if I were her - no matter what the car. If it's gonna keep my nose-candied ass out of the pokey...

Ross Winn, I've never seen any of those drunken sluts turn down ANYTHING because it was ostentatious.

As for this quote "They are also very difficult to get in to and out of places because of their size" Well, that could have several meanings...

This is why DC favors towncars over limos -- they can maneuver in traffic, and you look like you are actually doing something important, vs. getting hammered and being driven around.

You guys are missing the point that driving on coke is really fucking fun! Beemer or not. I'd drive an old Pinto yayed out of my mind and have a great time.

@Heatherly:

The whole point of buying expensive and fun cars is to drive them. Who wants to buy some 600hp speed monster for someone ELSE to drive?
