Good post. I was wondering the same thing. Along with the $60 million helicopter that couldn't take off again because of 12ft high walls in Osama's compound, not a good few weeks for American hi-tech toys.

To be fair it was only a decoy car,the pres had left in another car prior to this happening.The car had five inch doors and it weighed a ton so it wasn't really that shocking that it failed to get up the ramp.
I have lived a life of regrets.

Agree.....only in Ireland and also if it happened to Enda we would take the piss out of ourselves.
Great diagram.....noticed that drivers window opens 3 inches so that he can PAY A TOLL!!
Am I alone on this or does this sound daft?

That is daft... how about max speed is 50mph...wtf.
Did anyone else notice that it was the front suspension that collapsed, not that it got beached ?
look at the clip and watch the front wheels, they shoot up as the suspension collapses.
Oh shit yeah, you're right. Hadn't spotted that ..... the two front wheels literally lift off the ground and the car lands on its belly. So it wasn't the bloody ramp.
So what the hell was it then ? Some sort of fancy security feature gone wrong ?

Well as Obama said in the pub in Moneygall the President always pays his way.
The Truth is out there.
It was hilarious, I thought it would be a viral sensation too, when I checked youtube, only 2.2 million hits, so it's not fairing too badly, but was expecting more.
That driver/reccie team got dragged over the coals for sure.
