Looks like the new president has a new ride… Checkout these stats…

The new car Barack Obama will use is a Cadillac that rivals the bulletproof SUV that rapper, 50 Cent drives.

According to Gizmodo, Obama’s Cadillac has several high tech features, including
• It can withstand rocket impacts and it’s perfectly sealed against biochemical attacks.
• Petrol tank: Can withstand a direct hit thanks to a special foam and armor-plating.
• Bodywork: made of dual hardness steel, aluminum, titanium, and ceramics to “break up posible projectiles”.
• Tyres: Kevlar-reinforced with steel rims underneath so it can run away no matter what.
• Accessories include: Night vision cameras, pump-action shotguns, tear gas cannons.
• Comes with bottles of blood compatible with the President’s blood.

For those who have known me for a long time… I’m a whore for new tech stuff and twitter is one of my big new things. I just love it.. love it to death. It’s amazing how you can connect with people I would never have been able to connect with before. One new friend over at AuctiondirectUSA asked me a few questions about my past and present cars and now i’m in print. I’m published…well on the web anyways. This is just so cool.

It all started with one follower @terrymyers and now it has ballooned to over 400 and growing daily. I have new friends at the NY Times, TimeWaner Cable , Kodak Execs or even a host of a morning talk show in DC…and so many others. Pople that would never give me the time of day under any other circumstance, seem to flock to twitter and communicate almost on comment. it totally rocks! The world is your oyster with this technolgy and you have access to them all… right in the palm of your hand with Twitter clients for the iPhone, BlackBerry, Treo and a lot more others.

Then I see my new found twitter friend over at Markzware also mentioned me… ding another shot at fame. All in about 2 months of hanging out and testing twitter. So from zero to being one of the Top Twitter Elite in my area.. not bad for a little known tech guy from Wisconsin…
