Most folks have no clue just how truly advanced Presidential limos really are. Those things are basically mobile fortresses. Forget bulletproof, it is rumored that the plating on one is thick enough to withstand grenades as well as rocket attacks. Weapons stowed all over the place. And even a few secrets that the White House won't reveal to the general public.

When the limo reaches a certain mileage, they don't sell it to anyone. President gets a new limo. The old one is given to the Secret Service so that agents can practice driving manuvers when they are protecting the President. They literally drive the old one into the ground!

The President's limo was designed to stop bullets, grenades, rockets, fire-bombs, etc.

Yet all it took to stop one was a steep driveway! :lolsign:

See . . . This is why you don't buy a crew-cab truck, with a full-length bed, if you plan on even remotely taking it off-road. Your going to high-center it. This is why you don't get a stretch limo that is longer than 3 windows. (This is in reference to the number of windows present on one side of the limo. Three is fine. When you go up to four, you risk high-centering it. Just like a crew-cab truck with a full-length bed.)

High-centered on a steep driveway. :shakehead
