The Obamamobile

The British paper, The Daily Mail writes New presidential limo is unveiled - and it can withstand rocket and chemical attacks. Pretty graphic.

--A 10 CD changer? Why not an iPod hookup?
--It seat 4? So this means his mother-in-law is in another car?
--0 to 60 in 15-seconds? I know Detroit makes better than that.
--EIGHT miles per gallon???

Seems the drawing board needs to be wiped clean and the plans started anew.

You forget, it's a tank. Tanks don't do 60.

Having a mother-in-law in another car might be intended.

Megs: Just the 5" thick steel plate roughly the length and width of the passenger compartment would weigh more than a Cadillac Escalade. That the normal GM truck diesel is able to make this tank do 60 mph at all is quite an accomplishment.

It's interestingly ghoulish that they carry bottles of the president's blood in the car.
