So you think you can drive, eh?

      The drivers in the U.S. president's motorcade are trained and able to spontaneously reverse direction in unison should there ever be a threat to the president that requires them to quickly extract the president and themselves from the danger.

     This YouTube video is about the President's limo driver in "The Beast."

     You've likely never seen anything like this before. When you take into account that the Secret Service limo driver for the President is driving a 12,000 lb. automobile at speeds up to 60 mph in reverse over a one mile course, it's even more amazing.

     This car has about 800 horsepower.  The vehicle the President uses also is weaponized and uses a totally independent air conditioning system with its own oxygen supply in case there is any gas or chemical attacks.

Trump's limousine is a great metaphor for his time as President of the U.S.A.: Always going in the wrong direction with more power than it should have and at great expense to all Americans, with LOTS of noise and complaining at every turn—just smoke and mirrors!
(I bet you can add to this!)

was not until I read the comments I realized it was a CG game and not a real car. the sound track should have been a giveaway. I was dupped for sure.
But have to agree with David's comments.
