    Perhaps he'll invoke the spirit of Kennedy by insisting on removing the roof.

    This has also been 100% disproved by secret service agents several times.

    Just the thing for your commute and spur of the moment trips in town, preceded by your lights and sirens armed escort convoy. Probably pretty quiet and comfy in back. Wouldn't want those foreign leaders to be sayin' "Hey, what's that noise? You aren't calling me from your limo, again, are you?" As Big O hustles out of town just ahead of the incoming ICBMs, pedal to the five-inch-thick metal, on his way to the undisclosed bunker beneath Mount Weather. I'm sure the staff there has already been selected by top scientists (TOP Scientists, Timmy) for their ability to perpetuate the human race during the long period of seclusion. I'm sure they have a renewed dedication to their mission today, now that the First Gene Pool of the United States (FGPotUS) has been upgraded.

    Now that I think about it...the limo looks a lot like a bit Chrysler 300...especially the hindquarters. But then Chrysler 300 stole a lot of Cadillac cues, so...chicken 'n' the egg, I guess.

    @damnelantra™: how does your 'calculator' take into account the rest of the HP curve. the peak is virtually meaningless.


    besides, i'd bet everything i own that the engine is not stock.

    @ck314:First, it's called sarcasm, which is at times difficult to express when one is using the print form of communication. Second, I appreciate that you have taken the time to assess my current mental condition and standing. I assume you have the proper credentials to do so, after all, you are a commenter on an internet blog and therefore must be an expert of some sort.

    I think it's a scream that the driver's window is the only one that opens so that the driver can talk to the Secret Service agents...or pay a toll. I understand completely why Caddy One doesn't have an EZPass, but it's still funny to contemplate the president's chauffeur rolling through a PA Turnpike toll and taking a ticket.
