DALLAS (Reuters) - A pickup truck used by former President George W. Bush at his Texas ranch was sold for $300,000 at an auction on Saturday after he donated it to benefit a charity that serves U.S. military families.

Yo, Zer0: THIS is class.

[Popman]

Definitely, Bush’s fault.

What would you pay for the current Prez’s car? Not that much, I bet.... ;)

Will totally go unnoticed by the enmedia.

It was bought by Rick Hendrick, NASCAR team owner. This was right after Mr Hendrick bought two corvettes for a million per.

Nice. It is a great charity.
No question GW Bush respects our military.

Before or after testing those weird stains for Larry Sinclair's DNA?

Sure as heck hope it was Vettes that didn't have the rain leak problems.

Did you see the Bat-mobile? 4.1 million I think was the final bid.

[Slings and Arrows]

$4.3 million, IIRC, and I’d do it too if I had the money.

question for Texans who may be reading this post -

I used to do lots of business in the DFW area. I noticed that vitually all the Ford trucks were white such as GWB’s 350 in the linked photo. Even amongst the city cowboys living the image

So why white?

Just an observation.

Sunshine!

Want to see idiots? Look at all the poseurs driving black interiored German convertibles in sunny climes. Hot enough to burn skin!

Ya can't blame Obama for anything on this one, he and his family have likely never owned a vehicle for personal transportation since 2004 when he became a U.S. senator - and maybe even when he was a state senator.

Now, with that being said, how many of the limosines that have been provided to that grifter and his family over all these years have gone up for auction?

Who'd want them?

I’ve noticed that Ford dealers around Dallas have separate fleet vehicle sales lots, usually within a block or so of the main showroom. It may be that the heavy-duty pickups are more readily available (particularly in “farm truck” trim) at the fleet lots - and they tend to just order ‘em in white.
