Presidential Excort Vehicles

Escorts

I was in DC and in a hurry to get back to the office.  I took the South Capitol Street ramp that would lead me to 295, and was doing some masterful dodging and weaving. Some asshole in a black Mercury (I think) station wagon was playing games with me. Every time I tried to get in front of him the sumbitch sped up. Oh-oh. Road rage was setting in. There were two guys in the rear jump seat that faced me, and I gave them the finger. It was just about that moment when I noticed the spotlights with a red lens, and then more cars just like that, and then a big black limousine that, JFC!, you will recognize as the Presidential Limo.  HFS, I was jerking the president's (Reagan) Secret Service detail around.  He was headed for Andrews Air Force Base, I read later, for a visit to someplace.  I slowed wayyyyyyyy down and out of sight. The Secret Service doesn't use the station wagon any more, they use the SUVs you'll see in this video.  I think I was lucky it wasn't Clinton's motorcade I tangled with, that sumbitch would have ordered them to rake me. I know I would have.  I would love to have one of these bad boys. Rahouy
