When in Rome… President’s Caddy Breaks Down
When you see the presidential motorcade – as I have in Washington – it is an inspired site. Helicopters, motorcycles, vans, ambulances, fire trucks, and lots of Secret Service cars. Oh, and the presidential limosines.
I saw this video on Jalopnik – found it too hard to believe – and just had to share it with you. The folks in Detroit have to be cringing – a Cadillac breaking down in Italy? The land of Fiats and Alfas and Lancias and the President’s own (ugly) Caddy DTS fails to proceed? The starter even sounds whimpy…
Some of the pedestrian comments are quite funny. “No gasoline!”
Action happens @ 3:00 into video.
