Man turns Obama limo into a gas guzzler

No where else to put this ... I thought about Steve's new car thread, I thought about the new fed's GPS rules on cars, I thought about the joke thread, but no where ese to put it.

A limo shipped from Washington, D.C. to taxi President Obama around Israel failed and had to be towed in Jerusalem.

"One of our vehicles is experiencing mechanical problems. This is why we bring multiple vehicles and a mechanic on trips," according to a Secret Service spokesman, Agent Edwin Donovan.

The Secret Service ships a number of limos for each presidential trip.

CNN reported the limo suffered a case of auto indigestion because a driver filled it up with gasoline instead of diesel.

But the Secret Service would not discuss the nature of the break-down.

A nose test of the pump would have solved it.

This is strange. I can't believe that anyone not cleared can ever get within 10 feet of the POTUS' limo. So who was this "a driver"? The Tank does not have "a driver", but a team of specially trained and cleared drivers.

Why would anyone not intimately familiar with the limo ever be allowed anywhere near it, no less fuel it?

Me thinks there may be some information missing?
