One day, Joe Biden and Conan O'Brien had an interesting conversation with a car. The President of the United States of America was a guest on the radio show “Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend”, where he talked with the show's namesake about cars, among other things.
Conan O'Brien is a four-time Emmy Award-winning writer, producer, and host whose name includes The Simpsons, but he also has the longest-running late-night talk show. His podcast, which has been around since 2018, has so far reached 230 million downloads.
Biden told the broadcaster several stories about cars. For example, in his 1967 Chevrolet Corvette, he reached 132 mph (212 km/h) on the Secret Service test track. However, this was not the president's fastest pace on the track created at the former airport, as he and the Porsche reached 171 mph, i.e. 275 km/h. Biden even explained to Conan how the model's assault rifle worked.

Biden revealed that Jay Leno once offered him $144,000 to buy a Corvette, but he rejected the offer.
Biden seems to be very interested in cars, as he is aware of several models that do not yet exist. Thus, he revealed that the electric Corvette, which accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, is already on the way, and he also talked about having already driven an electric Ford Bronco. By the way, it is possible that he meant here a kind of restomod, that is, a model in which the classic model is converted to an electric motor, but it is not impossible that an electric version of the new Bronco will be manufactured soon.

It is interesting to see the enthusiasm with which a senior leader active in global politics talks about leadership. It would be nice to have a few more politicians like this. Biden currently drives the presidential limousine dubbed “The Beast,” which is more of a rolling bunker than a car.
