President Biden on Wednesday got behind the wheels of pricey luxury vehicles at the Detroit Auto Show — just a day after drawing jeers for throwing an “inflation reduction” party despite worse-than-expected August data that showed US wages aren’t keeping up with surging prices.

Biden revved a gas-guzzling Chevrolet Corvette Z06, which starts at $105,000, before sitting in the driver’s seat of an electric Chevrolet Silverado EV, which starts at $39,900, and checking out an electric Ford Mustang Mach-E, which goes for around $47,000.

The president then drove around the showroom in an electric Cadillac Lyric, which starts near $63,000.

“Jump in. I’ll give you a ride to Washington,” Biden joked while driving the Lyric. “It’s an Uber!”

I believe the President is NOT ALLOWED to drive....no matter that it’s inside. He is not licensed...I’m sure.

I HATE HATE HATE this miserable, despicable, tone-deaf anti-American cretin.

I thought I hated Obama, but it is nothing like this.

Note to “The Hill”:

The car’s name is “Lyriq”, not “Lyric”.

It is a dumb name, but that is what it is.

He doesn't need a license to drive on private property. You don't. I don't. Only if you hit the roadway.

And the way electricity prices are going, it’ll be $1,000 per month to charge it before long.
