35. The REASON the Secret Service used Suburbans for escort
Is because they can be up-armored, and ordered with 6liter 400 HP V-8's and strengthened chassis to carry the extra armor plating/Kevlar/carbon fiber/lexan bullet-proof panels to protect the occupants. Try doing that to a Peeus, it would barely go 10 MPH and you could stop it with a garbage can.

63. Do you really think the Secret Service uses only black SUVs???
When Kerry spoke at Akron University on Ohio in 2004 we stood and watched the police activity at the back of the building. Four Black SUVS and four White SUVS pulled up, all with tinted windows. The four black ones went one way and the four white ones went another. Seperate police cars went ahead and behind each one. Then 4 more trucks, all White, pulled out from underneath the parking garage and the another police group followed that one out.

THAT would certainly screw up everyone who's staking out the airports and airlines. I hope Biden has another driver with him or he's going to be pretty beat driving all night.
