...Limo One

love cars and I love private limos. The President of the United States has one of the most secure and advanced limos in the world. Unfortunately that did not stop it from breaking down in front of the U.S. Embassy in Ireland. A loud clang was heard and the limo stalled. They believe the low underbelly caught on to a piece of metal used to hold the gate cosed. Here are some reported facts about the limo:

"Limo One is believed to weigh between seven and eight tons, and spy shots suggest it rides on a GM medium-duty truck chassis propelled by a diesel engine. The body is sheathed in military-grade armor as much as 8 inches thick on the doors (each of which weighs as much as the cabin door on a Boeing 747, Motor Authority says). The armor reportedly is a mix of dual-hardness steel, aluminum, titanium, and ceramic. The windows are ballistic glass said to be 5 inches thick, and Dan Neil of the Los Angeles Times says there's probably a woven Kevlar mat covering the floorboard to protect the car from blasts. The cabin is believed to feature a sealed air recirculation system to protect its occupants from chemical attacks."

I must say they really need to get this issue fixed. Though this was just an incident, imagine if it the situation were more serious and the President needed to be somewhere in a hurry, makes you wonder eh? I am giving Limo One a Digit Down.
