Default Another Presidential Thread

That's right. Another one!!!!

But not like the others. Just a link to an article of the top 7 Presidential Limos.

http://www.popularmechanics.com/auto...s/4300349.html

Unfortunately the Lincolns beat the Caddy's 4 to 3. A couple of the limos look like a herse. I have to say my fav is a Lincoln, but it had a V-12!!!!

o im pissed now. i used to work for a Cadillac dealer in Houston. while i was working there i spotted the 2001 deville in the picture. it was sitting on the service drive. no one around it. it turns out it was bush senior's car.no one was around so i thought id pop my head in for a look. THE DOORS WER UNLOCKED. they wer heavy as hell too. right as i start walking to the front door to pop the hood, my boss sticks his head out of his office and tells me if secret service sees me messing with that car id be in alot of trouble. i never got to see the 454 under the hood SON OF A BITCH!!!

I like President Clinton's 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. Last presidential limo to be based on a production car. It was a good looker too, had nice proportions and lots of chrome. 454 V8 under the hood too.

It's not a northstar, the new presidential limo is actually built off a modified truck chasis. The article goes in to more detail. The tires look terrible, to much side wall

I bet it has a duramax diesel/allison auto under the hood. Probably the same thing they use on duallys and such.

Ya, 15000 lbs. is pretty hefty. With that much weight, I'd want a turrant with an XM214.

I don't know what a turrant is, but you CAN mount guns on a turret.

I DO love your choice of weapon though, nothing like a gun that fires rounds so fast that it hums!

GE...they bring good things to life.

They need spell check. Lol. At least I know the difference between their, there, they're; to, two, too; and your and you're.

Plus my favorites while I lived in OK. Using ideal for idea and using seen when it should be saw. As in," I seen you at Walmarts.". The s on the end of Walmart was intentional.
