Jalopnik:

The Secret Service let Vice President of these United States Joe Biden drive his 1967 Corvette when Jay Leno turned up, and the first thing he does is a glorious American burnout.

In a tweeted preview of the upcoming season of Jay Leno’s Garage, Jay shows up to the Secret Service’s training grounds to meet up with Vice President Joe Biden and his 1967 Corvette that he isn’t usually allowed to drive.

    This is without a doubt, 100%, exactly what I’d expect him to do. And I love it.

    Amazing. We’re lucky to be able to claim him.

    I’m going to have to write you a ticket, Mr. Vice-President.

    Good! Make sure that you have the speed right. 152. Write it down.

    Yes, I’m writing it down, sir.

    Delaware Joe. Sure wish he was the candidate.

    As much as I like Joe Biden, and wish he was running, nothing says out of touch rich kid like “My dad didn’t have a lot of money but he owned a Chevrolet dealership so he gave me a brand new Vette as a wedding gift.”

    Yeah, he knows the struggles of the common working man.

  9. liberalgeek says:

    Yes, that was Colin Powell.

    Neither of them are wearing seatbelts — or were there even seatbelts installed in 1967? How’s that going to work for him driving around in DE?

  11. SussexAnon says:

    Corvettes came with seatbelts as standard equipment starting in the late 50’s. Mid 50’s there were mounting points for dealer installed belts. Jan. 1, 1968 seat belts were required in all new cars.

    If he is wearing one, it will be lap belt only and should be the same color as the interior. Leno has one on. You can see the buckle.
