The Complete History of the Presidential State Car

It Has Broken Down

Although every single measure is taken to ensure that the state car never breaks down or leaves the leader stranded, no one is perfect and neither is any vehicle. In 2011, the state car famously broke down. Worst of all, this happened in Israel, not in the United States. Reports from the time indicate that the driver accidentally used the wrong fuel. No one knows whether this is true. It does, however, show one of the many reasons why the state car always travels with a mechanic in the motorcade. It also briefly broke down in 2013 after hitting a curb in Ireland.
