Barack Obama 2005 Chrysler 300 C HEMI For Sale On eBay

3ad1_3 In July 2004, Barack Obama took delivery of this 2005 Chrysler 300c from Park Plaza Dodge in Forest Park, Illinois. In 2007, Obama swapped his Chrysler sedan for a Ford Escape Hybrid at Hawk Ford in Oak Lawn, IL. Hawk Ford then transfered the 300C back to Park Plaza Dodge. Today, the Obamamobile 300 C Hemi showed up on eBay Current Bid US $116,101.99. I guess it a much better deal than famous half eaten waffle that went shortly on eBay and reached 20K, before removing it.

Take the time to read some of the Q&A hilarious. Link

Honda 2025 racer concept sketches...

Honda_01_L Honda 2025 racer concept that takes things to a whole new level. Designed to participate in the (imaginary) Great Race of 2025, which will entail going around the world in all of 24 hours, the concept uses Honda’s expertise in automotive, marine, robotics, and jet technologies. Well, whatever… I would rather have the much-anticipated VFR1000.

Fiat 500 Diabolika

This Blog might be a late as Fiat 500 Nuova was launched in 2007.  First the Beetle then the Mini now the Fiat 500 Diabolika, a remake of the 1957 through 1975 venerable 500. I like the tire thread quite unique. Overall it seems that all car manufacturer are going through a period of revival of bygone era. Are customers getting Nostalgic or manufacturer are less creative.
