FTFY.
You can't always get what you want. President Barack Obama said today that he originally wanted his presidential limo to boast a hybrid drivetrain. So what keeps the ruler of the free world from getting what he asks for? In this case, it was the Secret Service. Obama's body guards said that a hybrid engine couldn't produce the kind of power necessary to scoot the massive Cadillac down the road in an emergency situation. That's saying something, considering the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid boasts a V8 with enough power to have a 7,700-pound towing capacity. Part of us thinks it might also be a security concern to have a vehicle that may be more susceptible to electronic interference from nefarious sources, but that's just a guess.
No one's exactly sure what the Commander-in-Chief's car has under the hood, but it's a good bet that it has eight cylinders and enough torque to move a mountain of armor plating. We hear it's a diesel and we're guessing it probably nets fuel economy on par with most RVs.
Obama's pining for a hybrid limo came to light during a speech about the government's recent purchase of 5,000 of hybrid cars and trucks for federal use. No word on whether or not the executive branch got the General Motors employee discount.

What's the culture like in Canada regarding flashing lights? In America people tend to treat it as if you'd kicked in a puppy's head, so rarely anybody does it here. They just prefer to ride your ass for as long as it takes.
I've been tailgated but I've never had someone flash their lights at me in aggression, only as in indication that they are letting me out of a turn or something.
Edit: I was finally able to add the third bay/unit to my little shop. We're cutting the door/holes in the wall through to the other unit tomorrow - but guess what has taken up residence in there in the meantime?

I'll give you a hint.
Win. So much Win.

Bloody hell, he has bought a XK
In older parts of older cities, at least here in the midatlantic and new england, storefronts tend to back onto warehouse space which they don't use - and since they almost always lack proper loading docks (they usually have level drive-through doors) no serious industry wants to touch them - so they're CHEAP AS HELL.
Bloody hell, he has bought a XK
I don't see him buying another one... unless he went ahead and bought that XKE.
Nah, he had a dude import that XJ220 from the middle east...come on its Spectre he knows what he is doing
I seriously thought about that; even called to price out a mercenary troop. Problem is, I still can't import it properly until 2015/6.

Nope. Almost did buy one for/with my mom this week, though.
the XJR is up soon in the project rotation and the Series III isn't going anywhere for a while.
