Why pay $3.00 for a cab ride downtown, when you can get a limo for the same price?  Think about it.  Try and imagine the scenarios.  Either you call a cab, and by the time it gets to your building, a group of 20, scantily-clad freshmen girls pile in; and  A.)  You end up cramming in on top of them.  Maybe you'll end up crushed against the filthy floor, beneath the patent leather pumps and dirty Uggs of these freshmen girls.  Maybe you'll be pressed up against the sliding minivan door--the cold draft blowing against the back of your neck, reminding you that at any moment, this faulty door could swing open.  Or B.) The scantily-clad girls slam the door in your face and the cab drive, who you will now be deleting out of your phone, speeds away.

It could go the other way.  You could always just gather your group and wait outside, assuming that a cab will scoop you up.  Of course you won't be wearing a coat, because you're so worried about looking classy downtown...seriously.  At this rate, however, you'll end up competing with the scantily-clad gals on the other side of the street.  You will give a warning glare, trying to establish their place in this world, and yours.  But it won't matter.  In the end, they outnumber you and let's face it, can probably out run you.

So when you go outside, and see a glorious white, stretch limo, don't be intimidated.  It only costs $3.00.  What better way to roll up to The Rat in style?
