Home James!

The scenario: you've finally managed to get the nanny to stay over for the night - it's your time to mingle with the free, the young, the child-less. Out on the town, you finally succumb to that last cocktail and have that strong desire for your bed. You wisely think to call a cab - but how do you avoid that shameful cabride #2 or lift-from-a-friend to retrieve your car from the closed parking lot, hungover, the next morning?
If you live in Los Angeles, simple! It's time to say "Home James!" This oh-so-hip company will send out your own simply smashing chauffeur, complete with a fake English accent, via scooter to your whereabouts. He arrives, collapses his mini-ride, throws it in your trunk drives you home in your car. Great idea - plus one of the better ways to be the talk of the party when you leave short of knocking over a few tables at your host's place. According to a writeup in the LA Times, "Home James' chauffeurs are all men, all actors and models, and they all go by ''James." They drive Italian bikes. A stylist is coordinating their look." Hmmm. Just try and act respectable around your new chauffeur.
