Renegade's Cadillac One

Fact is, we have a black president. Fact is, security for the President needs to be beefed up. It's no surprise then that as President Obama is probably now getting ready for his inauguration, a final shine is being put on his new presidential limo.

You could say that it's a Cadillac. Indeed, given it's grill, that's what they would have you believe. This time though, it's actually built on a custom heavy duty truck chassis. It's got some 19.5" tires that laugh at stray nail heads. What may seem to be the opposite of an update- the windows are smaller than ever- is actually another security measure. Smaller windows equals a smaller target. The limo has enough locks built inside the door to rival a Swiss bank vault, so you can put away that paper clip. Of course the doors are thick, but these particular doors are apparently just as heavy as those found on 757 planes. The entire limo is peppered with rubber gaskets to help protect against any gas attacks. Under the hood lurks a massive diesel engine, the specs of which are confidential.

It's not exactly good looking, but hey, if the worst thing you can say about it is that it's ugly, then it's doing its job pretty well.
