The San Fran driver of this Ford Excursion-based stretch-limo just got a quick (and embarrassing) lesson about vehicle "breakover angles."
Full story here at Carscoop. More pixs of other beached limos here at Fort Lauderdale Limousine Service.

Ya he really was owned, you took the words out of my mouth. But the driver should have known better, trying to go downhill with a 30 foot stretch. A standard limo would have made it, not this one.
Bet he's wishing he was driving the Hummer H2 limo right now!

I'm sure if the vehicle was going at least 50 mph, it would have made it. Hehehe

What a joke; I didn't know Homer Simpson had a day job driving "limos". Why would anyone drive a vehicle like that on city streets, with the latter's dips, bends, etc.
That vehicle seriously needs lifting shocks to give it decent ground clearance for that sort of road. But wait...that kind of vehicle is supposed to have "Street Creed", isn't it? Which means looooow to the ground and.....repeat occurance, anyone?
