A quick aside: Hummer limosines also suck. The ceiling is too low and it only seats 8, unless you rent the super-stretch. If you're ever getting together with 20 of your nearest and dearest for an outing, I highly recommend the Party Bus. Nearly the same interior as the Hummer but you're able to stand up and easily move around.
