McCain: 13 cars. Obama: 1 car.
CAMPAIGN 2008
All the Candidates’ Cars
By Keith Naughton and Hilary Shenfeld | NEWSWEEK
Published Sep 20, 2008
From the magazine issue dated Sep 29, 2008

When you have seven homes, that's a lot of garages to fill. After the fuss over the number of residences owned by the two presidential nominees, NEWSWEEK looked into the candidates' cars. And based on public vehicle-registration records, here's the score. John and Cindy McCain: 13. Barack and Michelle Obama: one.

2. I'm guessing Michelle was taking public transportation or walking to the
U of C Hospital where she worked not far from where they live. Now they are probably both driven everywhere by secret service.

4. ...
"Cindy McCain's name is on 11 vehicles, though not the one she actually drives. That car, a Lexus, is registered to her family's beer-distributor business and is outfitted with personalized plates that read MS BUD."

:rofl:
