President Bush gets first look at his new Cadillac
Edited on Mon Jan-17-05 02:31 PM by Bluebear


The president's hand-crafted limousine is longer, wider and taller than the production model, and is equipped with state-of-the-art protection and communication systems. It seats six and the rear seat features a concealed, foldaway desktop.

Cadillac spokeswoman Kelly Wysocki said she could not discuss specifics of the arrangement between GM and the government, such as the cost of the vehicle or how many are produced.

26. Actually I think the "before" version
of the standard "pimp my ride" vehicle is all the taxpayers should be footing the bill for. He deserves the worst junker around, a piece of shit so broken down that not even the "pimp" crew could save it.

42. People! You're right!
"...while integrating the brand's signature egg-crate grille up front."

It has an "egg-crate grille!" It's egg-ready, it's egg-friendly and it's egg-ceptionally receptive to EGGS!

51. Assholemobile.
When they don't want to say how much it costs you know it's high.

I would estimate it at around $400,000.00.

52. My guess...it was a gift from GM!
We've certainly heard about the $100,000 donations to the inagural from a lot of Corporate donors. Why wouldn't GM just donate this ugly POS for the publicity? Cheap advertising in my opinion!

That's probably why they can't comment on the cost, huh?
