Check out what happened when US President Barack Obama was exiting the embassy in Dubin, Ireland when his super futuristic armored limo was caught on a little hump and he had to walk out of the car. Secret Service pulled that bus up…awww! Reports the BBC:
The Cadillac, specially built for Mr Obama by General Motors, has reinforced tires and its own oxygen supply. The incident happened in front of waving crowds in Ballsbridge, and the president left the building from a different entrance. A witness said that as it drove out, the car appeared to get its low underbelly caught on a piece of metal sticking up that a gate might lock into.
The US president and first lady Michelle Obama stayed in the car while police officers rushed over to the stricken vehicle. The pair switched to another vehicle to drive to the Marine One helicopter that was to carry them to the next stage of their visit.
There are regular vehicles on the road that can rise at the push of a button. Come on now….

I’m blown away that Dublin’s police vehicles were hawt ass BMWs! I guess the bad guys can forget speeding away from the crime scene.
Oh, and where can I sign-up to join their police force?? Thanks in advance.
Was that a BMW 7 series?
