I can't stomach this man so it's really hard to read that.

You think I’d drive a Trans Am?

I'm glad he was able to talk pretty easily when it comes to cars, and enjoy them instead of advocating for hybrids wherever he speaks.

I happen to like Mr. Biden and this is one more reason. to another Corvette fan......Corvette fans thankfully transcend political leanings.

If told I couldn't drive it....."Dammit, I'm the Vice President! Let me rent a track wherever the f*** I want for a day! An hour! Something"

^ +1 I only posted it because I thought it was interesting that the VP was a car fan. No political intentions at all, just amused he's a car fan.

FWIW, Johnson gave daughter Luci a convertible Corvette for her 18th birthday. But later after she got married and was expecting her first child he took it away. Didn't think a Vette was a proper car for a expecting mom. The car today is at the Johnson Presidential museum in TX.

Corvette. Cool. I didn't know anything about Biden until a few years ago. Since then I thought him to be a pretty interesting guy.

C/D: Any cars recently zing you?

JB: My brother has one of those 556-hp [CTS-V] Cadillacs with a manual. He brought it down for me to eat my heart out. So I got in. I have a driveway that’s about 1700 feet long. I knew the Secret Service wouldn’t let me drive it outside. So I jumped on that sucker and laid rubber.  A great feeling. That thing could probably beat my Corvette.
Hell yeah!

I wish I had a quarter mile drive way to burn rubber in.

Further proof that owning a car doesn't make you more likable.
