Though, President-Elect, Barack Obama, may bear many similarities to the late John F. Kennedy, he’s not trying to meet the same fate. This heavy-duty limousine will whisk Obama away after his Inauguration speech on Jan. 20, 2009.
GM has been commissioned to create the tank-limo mash-up and combines the look of their Cadillac DTS but more so based on their heavy-duty 2500s. Add a coat of paint and the Presidential seal and you’ve got a pretty good looking Prez Mobile.
Details on the vehicle are minimal, for obvious reasons, but it does bear five inch-thick translucent windows that “can stop projectiles from assault rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and high explosives. It’s also said to be built of a combination of blast-proof ceramics and exotic metals, and certainly won’t have a convertible top or sunroof.”
I’m sure the engine will be something massive enough to move all that metal in the event of a getaway but some speculate that Obama’s ride will be a hybrid. Lets just hope that we don’t have to see the ride prove that it’s assassination-proof.
Here’s Honda’s attempt to appeal to the 18-26 year-old African American demographic –well, that’s what I think. All the info you need about signing up is on the flyer (click to enlarge). Good luck to any on221.com readers who apply. And if you actually do get the part, you better throw me a shout out or cut me a check! Haha, just kidding…Or am I?
The same day as the highly anticipated –and leaked– third installment to Wayne’s Carter series is the day that he will realize he should have made installment payments on his 1999 Bentley Arnage.
LeMarck deAndre filed another suit against Mr. Carter today claiming that he is owed for customizations to Wayne’s ‘99 Bentley. He originally filed suit late last year for $91,000 and now seeks $123,000 for “cost, parts, shipment and storage of the vehicle” and restitution payments of $200, after only receiving $78,000 from Wayne.
“[Lil Wayne] demonstrated to me that he has become the ‘new symbol of financial illiteracy and slavery in/of the 21st century,” deAndre said. “I have been involved with the consistent and perpetual business behavioral illustrations of Dwayne M. Carter’s high-level of financial illiteracy, lack of liquidity, leveraged acquisition liability accumulation and below zero net-worth; as well as lack of business communication, character, and integrity — all learned behaviors — and the primary reasons for non-payment.”
deAndre’s description of Wayne may not be far from accurate. Wayne was also sued for non payment on jewelry when a jeweler claimed he was owed $146,000.
50 Cent recently helped designed the customized Pontiac G8 GPX. I actually seen it in person at a car show out here a few weeks ago and it’s not bad. Curtis also says he wants to develop a two-seater, 6 foot bed G8 truck. Not only that, he also claims that the Solstice is faster than a Porsche Boxter. Pontiac is also running a contest for the name of this new truck and 50 recommended “The Curtis.”
