I'm confused. Is the presidential limo diesel or gas???
I'd find it really strange that it was a diesel. I guess it makes sense if it's making huge power/torque to move that monstrosity of a vehicle around, but diesel doesn't seem very "presidential".

Just don't believe in vast, international conspiracy theories perpetrated by people who, apparently, don't know the difference between gas and diesel.

The people who don't know the difference between gas and diesel also comprise the talent pool of those who provide the other news.
At least they have something in common with someone on the President's maintenance staff.
Totally a vast conspiracy perpetrated by acorn, bill ayers, Ted Kennedy, fat Elvis, the tooth fairy, bill Krystal, and the entire premier cast of "cats".
Freaking Andrew Lloyd weber trying to control the brains of average Americans. Where are my tin foil opera glasses.
This is a pretty big loss of opsec, like the other stuck limo incident, it could have tired out really bad had it happened at a crucial time.
If I were president, my ride would be a kamaz or a unimog.

It's a Kodiak diesel truck with a Cadillac stuck on top. It's a good choice, honestly, although a Cummins might make more sense as a powerplant.
Also, for all of those reading right wing stuff, be very aware the the Presidential limo was designed and being built before Obama had even won the nomination.

Hmmm... We should make a thread like this. Sticking to American made, and high American parts content... Mine would be a Corvette - stretched, of course, with the ZR1 powerplant.

Mine would be a Hummer cause if it is good enough to send our soldiers into battle in, it should be good enough for the president.

Now cut that out! Those are the same uninformed attitudes that keep diesels from selling well and therefore keep them from being offered for sale in the US!
Diesels are powerful and they belch lots of black smoke. What could be more presidential than that?

Excellent point.

LOL 
Once upon a time, I mistakenly dumped kerosene in my gas tank. Car ran, poorly but boy did it smoke.
So am thinking the gasoline in the diesel may have been the problem.

In about 30 years, it will be something like this.

It is an awesome car. Its looks like caddy but is bigger than the suburbans around it. Its quiet enough that I couldnt tell if it was gas or diesel but it took of pretty quick.
Yes, it is diesel powered
