Just seeing the new Presidential Limo...
 

what a fucking Tank :pimp

it has spinners on it

well keep in mind.. hes black.. hes talking change.. i mean.. hes got a lot to be worried about..

remember all the change jfk was talking about? bet he wished he rode around in a sherman eh?

20 inchers too

They say its practically indestructable. Can withstand explosives, RPGs, bullets, etc. They need to send a few of these to the troops in Iraq.

its got to be so heavy.

the cost of a grunts life dont merit it

that thing is pimp

I heard it has a 5000 Watt sound system in it too.

my cousin is doing roadside explosive duty detail in iraq and while he was home for visits before deploying again, he told me to do it they ride around in this HUGE bus-like tank thing that sits a certain height off the ground and can take massive explosions etc... they use it to find mines etc... doubt the limo could top that!

Batmobile!!

i seen that thing on discovery channel
totally bad ass

Yea I forget what they call them, but it's this..(think it's called Dragon or something)

Last I had heard not a single troop had ever been killed in one but many had been hit by IEDs.

i had never seen them, however i took his word for it, as he came home in one piece, however he went back for his third tour of duty there.

they look tough! I hope anyone stuck with that detail comes home, i know my cousin doesnt need to be blown up on the side of a road in Iraq.

That's totally pimp.

i seen a special on that fucker, it ran over an ied, massive kaboom, it went dark and rocked, dude tossed it into reverse and backed out, no one hurt, vehicle still running strong

The door is more heavy than a 747 airlplane door.

thats the explanation i got. I asked him "so what do they have you doing?" He laughed and replied "driving over bombs" LOL

he then told me about the tank he rides (truck thing pic above) in etc... I told him, whatever as long as he comes home.

Heavily reinforced cars like the new presidential Cadillac actually have hydraulically supported doors, there is no way a human could easily open and close them. Sensors detect whether you want to open or close and the hydraulic pumps move the door for you. Each door actually weighs hundreds of pounds.

Yea, well if he's on one of them then he's pretty damn safe while he's in it. Looked it up it's called a Cougar or MRAP.

This is how good the armor is.. none of the soldiers in this truck were injured, but the truck was destroyed.

funny shit, looking at the parade , the brake squeeks like hell:1orglaugh

thats not an MRAP

this is...

They showed (parts of it) under construction on the news the other day

THAT Caddy will stop just about anything you throw at it (including some NBC agents)

A Secret Service rep said O's gotten more death threats (before office) than anyone...

I wouldn't be on his detail no matter how many flags you waved

Pretty pimp ride... :thumbsup

Heard he asked them to put some hydraulics in it so that he could bounce at stop lights...

ADG

someone needs to tell those guys the armor only works if you are on the inside

That's GM for you.

Give them an unlimited budget to make a car and it still comes out looking like crap.

I love caddies and although some people say this looks like crap I bet it's 100 times more compfortable then any ride out there... And you can also bang a chick in it while being chauffeured...

Now That's my kind of Pimp Ride ;-)

yeah that thing looks hardcore, when they opened the door you can se how thick it is...

hahahaha, ghostriding that thing in Iraq!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I'm pretty certian they have more than one model. Yes the one you posted is one, it's the largest which is the same as the one I posted that was blown up. The first one I posted is a smaller version. You can see them here as well it's called a MaxxPro according to wiki but it's still a still in the MRAP class.

Either way they seem to both be damn big ass tanks on wheels.


funny video btw..

Obama bling...:upsidedow

If you recorded the inaug, watch the scene when the pres/elect get into the limo.
Notice two things. The thickness of the doors apear to be almost 12".
When Obama gets in, the door closes by itself.

Yea that and the roof is probably so high because so much extra armor is likely added to the floor and roof that they had to make it taller.

the wheels looked much larger , than they show in the official shots:2 cents:
