LOL: Biden promotes "a better America" from the seat of his 12mpg gas-guzzling $200,000 sports car

[marvin martian]

At least he knows how to drive.

He did, perhaps. No longer.

Joe Biden’s Classic Corvette Is Undrivable​

Joe Biden, the 46th President of the United States, is a car nut – which is not a good thing to be when you’re the ‘leader of the free world’.

Presidents aren’t actually allowed to drive themselves whilst they’re in office, as it’s deemed a safety risk. Instead, they’re normally driven around in ‘the Beast’: a huge, heavily-modified Cadillac limousine. It’s perhaps the most ‘first world’ problem you could ever have – being forced to ride in a sumptuous, bulletproof limo – but there you are. Vice-Presidents aren’t allowed to drive themselves either.

That must have stung for Biden, whose prize possession is a green over tan 1967 Corvette Stingray convertible. ‘Uncle Joe’ had to hang up his car keys for eight whole years whilst serving as Vice-President – so when he left office, he was champing at the bit to get behind his immaculate vintage muscle car again. Indeed, he took famous talk show host (and fellow gearhead) Jay Leno for a raucous spin in the car back in 2016 when the Secret Service finally relented, sharing with Leno how much he missed driving. “I love speed,” the then-VP sheepishly admitted.

ust by looking at Biden’s Corvette, you can tell he’s the real deal. Biden is the first and only owner of the car, having originally received the drop-top as a wedding present from his father, who owned a car dealership back in the day. His sons rebuilt its 327-cubic-inch V8 as a Christmas gift in the intervening years, and as Biden’s jaunt with Leno shows, both the old car (and the old now-President) have got plenty of rubber-burning left in them.

An appreciation of fine automobiles and missing being able to drive themselves are some of the few things Donald Trump and Joe Biden have in common, actually. Trump shared with reporters that he missed driving back in 2017 during his first 100 days in office – not surprising, considering what he’s got in the garage. Over the years, Trump’s driven a Ferrari F430, a Lamborghini Diablo and most recently a Rolls-RoycePhantom, Bloomberg relates.

The one downside to beating Donald Trump.

It gets 12.2 miles per gallon. Biden is a super-polluter.

Yep, and Bidung is driving a flying car...dumbass.

Not sure I would want to be a passenger in a car he was driving on a freeway.
You? Party above common sense, I guess.

10 to 1 that car is not running. Safety first.

It runs. Presidents are not allowed to drive while in office.

No one told JFK.

 

[Nostra]

No. This is laughable:

Over the years, Trump’s driven a Ferrari F430, a Lamborghini Diablo and most recently a Rolls-RoycePhantom, Bloomberg relates.

So you are saying Trump has better taste in cars…..and women.

 

[Sixties Fan]

No one told JFK.

[I learn something every day. Does anybody else?]

hat’s because current and former presidents and vice presidents are not allowed to operate motor vehicles on the open road.

For security reasons, high profile government officials and former officials, like Barack Obama and Joe Biden, as well as both Bill and Hillary Clinton, have to rely on their appointed secret service teams, who are trained in “evasive and defensive driving maneuvers.”

The assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963 was a turning point in this lifetime security requirement. Lyndon Johnson was the last president to drive on public roads.

Though the rule is not law, it’s highly enforced by the secret service and all parties seem to adhere.

Ronald Reagan famously cherished joyrides in his beloved Jeep on his own ranch but was forbidden from claiming the driver’s seat for highway drives.

Past presidents agree, this surprising rule is one of the worst parts of running the country

Hand over the keys, Mr. President.

More expensive taste. More expensive does not always mean better.
He can afford it, considering how much money he gets out of his followers.

Joe's 67 Corvette is nice, but Trump doesn't sit in his $200,000, 12 mpg gas-guzzler and shake his finger at Americans for driving their cars.

I'm not sure who Biden is attempting to reach with this horrible tweet.

 

[Rigby5]

Biden has had that car since it was brand new, his father gave it to him as a wedding present
Cost around $4,000

Dumb wedding present.
Weddings are usually followed by children, and this is a 2 seater.

Presidents can do what ever they want, but since they have essentially "diplomatic immunity", it would be rude for them to drive and flaunt it.

Not sure that corvette is worth $200K though--maybe $80K.

We took the keys away from my mother when her cognitive decline wasn’t even yet considered dementia. She kept getting lost, forgetting to put gas in the tank, swinging wide when two lanes were turning left and she was in the close lane, and all sorts of stuff.

And she was NOWHERE near as bad as Biden. And this man is PRESIDENT!

Yeah,my mother got to be the same way.
She lived in Galveston and would get lost going to the grocery store. I cant tell you how many times the police called us to come get her and take her home.
And we live in Katy about 70 miles away.
She left our house one day and we followed her to make sure she took the right exit...of course she blew past her exit and we had to call her and tell her to stop. I ended up driving her car while she rode with the Wife all the way to Galveston.
That was the end of her driving days.

Yeah, it‘s sad to witness the mental decline of our loved ones. That’s why it’s so infuriating to see how Jill is allowing her husband to be made a mockery of in front of the entire world as he moves from mild to mid-dementia.

That senile old man is going to kill someone if they keep letting him drive.

If you give the devil a ride, he's sure as hell gonna want to drive.
