| Bill Clinton's Pimped Hybrid SUV |

Bill Clinton just received a hybrid Mercury Mariner SUV from Ford that
can get a max of 32 mpg. "Ford and President Clinton share a
commitment to promoting green solutions for transportation." Also,
Ford and President Clinton share a commitment to ridiculously sweet
rides.
Dual DVD players, a small refrigerator, a 110 volt plug,
customized LED lighting, several fold-down desks, some top-secret 'electronics,' and extra leg room for
the president (presumably at the cost of less leg room for the Secret Service Agents
driving him around.)
A lot of those extra features will add up to a drain on the Mariner's battery, so it probably won't get the full 32 mpg in the city. But, still, a sweet machine for a man who's presence I miss very much.

Other options include 19-wheels with performance tires, a sport-tuned suspension, an adaptive air suspension, rear park assist with a rearview camera, a lane departure warning system, adaptive cruise control, a navigation system, iPod integration and voice-recognition technology.
