We broke "The Beast"

Mr. Obama!

Buy Next Time a German Safetyvehicle.
German Bulletproof Cars are the Best on The Market.
The Movie tells more as thousand words;)
 
I think some one missed this... If not, this sticker needs to be added.

Apparently the President and First Lady were not in the car at the time (they were travelling in the Escalade behind). As the car weighs over 9 tonne it wasn't an easy job to extricate the vehicle after the incident.
 
What it needs is the Citroen air suspension system so that it can jack itself up to clear obstacles.
 
In Ireland - and I know KD won't mind me mentioning this - it's much easier to get Into Trouble than Out!
 
Hehehe...


...They actually used another entrance when bringing the car into the embassy. Also,it was unladen at that time too so sat a few inches higher. Still...it was a major FUBAR on behalf of the security detail who should have recce'd the route in minute detail. You can see (and hear) that the BMW 760 at the head of the calvacade had trouble exiting too. What if there had there been a terrorist attack at that moment?

I'll second that. I used to own a CX and the suspension was just about the only thing that never went wrong with that car. Every other device did though, cost me a small fortune over the 4 years I owned it. Having said that I did own a Caddy for about 1 week and that was nothing but trouble also before I took it back.
I'll stick with German in the future.
I s'pose the Prez has to buy American, it would be a real kick in the teeth to GM if he ordered a Beamer or Merc, can you imagine the outcry.
