CHICAGO, IL (06.10.24) – The amazing Limo Jet, a Lear Jet 35 on wheels showcased at the recent House of Electronics Dealer Show, is a project Frank DeAngelo has been fostering for over 12 years.
The Limo Jet landed out front of the House of Electronics event and was ready to welcome all.
DeAngelo related “My thought was to create a vehicle that was very unique and could be used to draw consumers to large consumer and public events. Over the years the Limo Jet has been through several make-overs. The Limo Jet we had on site at the recent House of Electronics drew very positive comments from all. We had the same reaction from all at the recent Tri-State Dealer show at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington TX.”
Custom Alumapro subs add to the Limo Jet experience.
The cabin features a comfortable lounge feel with amazing sound and connectivity.
The Limo Jet is the shape of a Lear Jet 35 and placed on a limo frame with a Chevy pickup drive train. The overall length is 40’ and it’s trailered on the highway on a 44’ trailer. The interior was created as a comfortable lounge with a super sound system and video. The sound system with Zapco, ESB, Kenwood and Alumapro extends outside with Race Sport Lighting and amazing carbon hydro enclosures and graphics.
Monitors in the cockpit prepare the pilot for a safe journey.
Every facet of the Limo Jet showcases amazingly custom work.
Teg Manchanda, House of Electronics, stated “I have known Frank for years and we have several friends and business partners in the Chicago area. Ernie Hudnal with Atrend and I have worked together on several 12volt products they produce and he has kept me up to date on the Limo Jet. He indicated how cool it would be to spotlight it at our recent 2024 Dealer Show. We put a deal in place and everyone definitely was amazed when they checked out the Limo Jet. It definittely was on the top of attendees list to check out as they saw the latest products from exhibitors and took advantage of show deals and fun filled Dealer Show.”
The Limo Jet headed to the next event.
For longer trips the Limo Jet hitches a ride on a 44’ trailer.
The Limo Jet is available for celebrity appearances or top social media companies to use for product events and grand openings.

WTF… Where’s The Fun……On the next spin of the 12volt Spin-To-Win Wheel 276 on Friday, June 14th.
DIAMOND BAR, CA (06.07.24) – Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin announced today that the Commonwealth would not adopt California’s 2035 ban on selling new gas- and diesel-powered motor vehicles.
“Seventeen states have attached themselves to California’s emissions standards over the past 20 plus years. Nine states have passed laws and/or resolutions rejecting government deciding what technology American consumers must purchase and buy,” said SEMA President and CEO Mike Spagnola. “Virginia is now the first state in the nation to untangle itself from California’s emissions standards and EV mandates. We applaud Governor Youngkin for this bold action that rejects the notion that California should determine policies for nearly half of American consumers. We urge other states to follow Virginia’s lead.”
Virginia lawmakers passed a law in 2021 under Youngkin’s predecessor, tying the state to California’s emissions standards, which includes California’s 100% EV mandate by 2035. Since then, SEMA-supported bills aiming to repeal the law have narrowly failed to pass the Democratically controlled legislature.
Elected in 2021, Youngkin campaigned on repealing California’s standards and pledged to follow through during his 2023 State of the Commonwealth address.
“It defies common sense that in 2021, lawmakers decided that instead of writing our own electric vehicle laws, Virginia would simply do whatever California decided to do,” said Youngkin. “Because lawmakers outsourced their responsibilities and surrendered our values to California, Virginians face a mandate starting in 2024 that limits and eventually bans the buying of gas-powered cars or trucks. Unless we act, Virginia is hostage to the extreme policies of California. Common sense says that the law of Virginia should be written by elected leaders here, not outsourced to radical bureaucrats in California.”
SEMA has led the charge to pass laws and/or resolutions in nine states that would outlaw states and local governments from mandating a singular vehicle technology over others and protect the American consumer’s right to choose the vehicle technology that best suits them and their families. SEMA’s efforts also led to the successful delay in the adoption of California’s ICE ban in Connecticut and Maine earlier this year.

ORLANDO, FL (06.05.24) – VOXX Electronics Corporation (VEC) is thrilled to announce the launch of an enhanced rewards program for its popular SmartStart Pro product, as well as a new revenue share opportunity for store owners. These initiatives are designed to recognize and reward the collaborative efforts of sales teams and installers, and to offer store owners a new revenue stream.
Part 1: Enhanced Rewards Program: Split Rewards for Sales and Installers
VOXX is excited to introduce a groundbreaking enhancement to its rewards program for the SmartStart Pro. Effective immediately, rewards for selling the SmartStart Pro can now be split between two individuals – projectably the salesperson and the installer. This change addresses a longstanding industry issue where only the salesperson received rewards, leaving installers unrecognized despite their critical role in the customer experience.
“This new approach ensures that both the sales team and installers are equally motivated and rewarded for their contributions,” said Aron Demers, Senior Vice President of VOXX Electronics. “By acknowledging the essential work of our retail sales associates and technicians, we are fostering a more collaborative and productive environment, ultimately leading to better customer satisfaction and increased sales.”
Note that 2 salespersons or 2 installers may also split the rewards between each other, or 1 person may still claim the full reward amount.
Part 2: Revenue Share Program for Store Owners
In addition to the enhanced rewards program, VOXX is also launching a new revenue share opportunity for store owners. Store owners who renew service plans for the SmartStart Pro will now be eligible for a share of the revenue generated from these renewals. This initiative is designed to provide store owners with an additional income stream, encouraging them to actively promote the renewal of service plans and enhancing the overall customer retention rate.
“Store owners play a pivotal role in our distribution network, and their success is integral to our own,” added Demers. “The revenue share program is our way of recognizing their efforts and ensuring they benefit directly from the ongoing relationship with their customers. This not only rewards their hard work but also aligns our goals in delivering exceptional service and support.”
