Some people just never learn - even when they smack into a patrol car parked at a red light! In Laguna Hills last night at 1:58 am a driver was taken into custody on suspicion of driving under the influence after, officials said, he rear-ended a deputy's car that was stopped at a red light.
No one was injured in the crash, but the Laguna Niguel man was asked to take a field-sobriety test after the crash and failed, said Lt. Jim England of the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
The suspect, a Mr. Banir Ganatra, 32, has had multiple charges of DUI and other driving issues. Ganatra was driving a 2008 Mercedes-Benz.
I gotta ask - if he has enough money to drive a 2008 Mercedes-Benz (in my opinion a nice car) - why doesn't this repeat offender have enough money to pay for a taxi or chauffeured transportation in Orange County?
Before you get behind the wheel if you've been drinking ask yourself if the risks are worth the punishment. I've heard reported that a DUI in Orange County costs in the neighborhood of $10,000! An Orange County Limo would be around $400 (depending on hours an distance)!

Party buses are the new way to travel in style in Orange County! It is so much more comfortable to get into and out of a party bus compared to limousines and SUV limos. When you load 15-20 people into and out of Hummer limo there is a lot or crawling on the floor - or walking hunched over. Not as comfortable as standing up and walking upright (okay it is 6'3" inside most party buses so if you are really tall you would have to hunch over a little) like you do in a party bus. Club hop 3+ places and have a few drinks and you will see what I mean when I say it is a TON easier to stand up and walk into and out of the party bus. And of course you can dance, get drinks easier, change the stations on the radio or on your Ipod, dirty dance for you spouse, the options are endless!
When renting an Orange County Party Bus there are a few tips to make sure your night is fun and memorable (for all the right reasons - not memorable because of bad service):
1. Ask the YEAR of the party bus. Because the body style hasn't changed on buses - you could be renting a 10-20 year old party bus that has "been around the block", literally. This can help you compare apples to apples when looking at your party bus rental hourly charges.
2. Find out if the company has the proper insurance. When you have a vehicle that carries 15 or more passengers - by Federal law you must have a $5 million commercial auto policy. Many, many companies do not have the correct limits. Why? It is cheaper to operate that way and they think can get away with it. We recently tried to work with a local company that has a lot of sedans and limos in town. We got his company's insurance certificate listing us as a certificate holder as we are supposed to do - guess what? He only has $1 million policy! And he is running a 24 passenger party bus!

Sunday February 7th will be the big day - the Cincinnati Colts versus the New Orleans Saints! I personally feel that New Orleans could use some good news and to be inspired by a win after the hell they went through with Katrina - so I'm pulling for the Saints.
Superbowl Sunday will be fun with plenty of parties and homes, sports bars and restaurants! Of course plenty of beer, wine and liquor will be served and unless you have a designated driver make sure and order your Laguna Beach limo or chauffeured sedan or SUV! Don't take a risk and get behind the wheel after you've been drinking! Order your Laguna Beach limo today!

It's a happening place in (usually) sunny Orange County! And many people need to find safe transportation to fun activities like concerts and sporting events.
One local event that many Mission Viejo residents might need a limo to is the SOL Cocina's First Tequila Dinner of 2010 in Newport Beach on 1/20/10. A special menu has been planned to compliment the wonderful Corzo super-premium tequila that uses only the heart of the agave plant from the Los Altos region of the State of Jalisco, Mexico's primary agave growing region. Corzo features twice the agave per liter than other premium tequilas and is distilled after aging, resulting in a smooth, refined taste that begs to be sipped and savored.
Space is limited for this tequila dinner, offered for $50 per person (plus tax & tip). Tickets must be purchased in advance by emailing Jennifer@SolCocina.com.
Sounds delicious - and dangerous to drink and then get behind the wheels so book a
Mission Viejo limo from In The Scene Limousine by calling 714-386-5151.
