Memo to the Prez: When You Really Need to Get There, Ditch the Caddy

Bandini3 · 05-23-2011, 07:51 PM

The driver of President Obama's limousine (a.k.a. "The Beast" -- Cadillac look, modified GM truck chassis, tons of armour plate) discovered today that:
1) OK, progress is being made with vehicles like the CTS-V Coupe, but
2) trying to keep up with a BMW in a GM vehicle continues to be a major challenge.

The above applies even if you are simply negotiating a low-speed turn on an embassy driveway.

Highlights the perils of that extra-long wheelbase!
