How cool is that! I can just picture it, with the Secret Service in the front and Bill in the back with his writing desk and little fridge. I wonder if all those modifications will have a big impact on FE? I image bulletproof glass or special panels or whatever would be quite a bit heavier. Still, it's got to be better than the cars people drive him around in now, what with all the entourage that must travel with him and the lack of hybrid limos on the market.

Thumbs up, Bill!

I wish mine had those mods! Looks like it has a mobile satellite receiver mounted on the roof too. i bet that gives hime mobile internet and TV on the road. They should have had the Hymotion PHEV kits installed while they were at it.

Desk in the back? No way. It will be a bed, for him and his mistress du jour. Various liquors (and some nose candy) in the fridge, of course.

No.

A Mariner may be large enough for Clinton to screw a bimbo, but Bush is screwing a whole nation.
