Carol Burtt was at her home in Westbro sleeping when she hears the knock on the door. When she opened it, there was a limo driver waiting and a stretch limousine parked just outside. At first, Carol thought hes at the wrong address, since she didn’t order a limo services. However, she soon heard the reason the driver was at her front door.

“Your garage is on fire, Ma’am”.
The house owner soon called the alarm. It was 2 am in the morning. The fire was already spread on the roof of the barn, however, it has not reached the residential buildings around it.

The firefighters have not yet determined what caused the garage to catch fire, however, they claim that if Chicago limousine driver would not have seen the incident, the house of Carol’s would have burn as well.

“I have not seen a fire so big. The flames were 50 feet high. It was gigantic.“, one of the firefighters said.

The old barn was used as a car garage, for keeping things and as an owner’s workshop.

The home was just a few feet away across the driveway, but thankfully there was no wind and it did not catch fire.

Ms. Burtt feel extremely lucky and thankful for a friendly limo driver which took his time to stop his limousine and save a strangers home.

Chicago Auto Sales Are On a Decline in July

When the bad news couldn’t get any worse for Chicago businesses (www.elitechicagolimo.com), the weak American branded auto sales reports have stalled economic recovery in Chicago for even longer. While the foreign brands like Toyota and Honda are on pace with their expectations, the domestic brands have miles of catching up to do.

As a result, the business activity has taken a toll in Chicago. Since the majority of the Chicago economy depends on the transportation industry such as limousines, shuttle buses, party buses, and auto repair, having the vehicle sales drop while the driving activity weakens has made a serious dent in the recovery process. Less people hit the nightlife in Chicago, go shopping, and enjoy their daily activities because the wealth isn’t spreading around or “trickling down” to the consumers.

So while the rest of the United States is making a swift run to match 14 million in vehicle sales expectations this year, Chicago is lagging behind. This is a double whammy for Illinois because of its reliance on the limousine sale, service, and rental industry and the already increasing taxes on the individual tax payers and corporations. Not to mention, there are quite a few major auto insurance companies headquartered in the surrounding Chicago suburbs such as Allstate and State Farm.

Due to the slowing vehicle sales, Chicago is seeing more work done on older vehicles and conversions from old shuttle buses to party buses. Chicago limos are also being converted from older Lincoln, Freightliner, and Chrysler makes instead of the newer models such as Lincoln MKZ.

loner customer at the auto dealer — Less People shopping for vehicles is having a major effect on the Chicago economy.

All hope for Chicago is put on the performance of vehicle sales and service rentals in August, as well as on the upcoming elections which will certainly push things around. Change is certainly welcome in the Windy City.
