President Biden is burning rubber away from the the midterm campaign trail.

The 79-year-old took his 1967 Corvette Stingray for a spin on an episode of CNBC’s “Jay Leno’s Garage” that aired Wednesday night.

Biden’s green convertible, featuring a 350-horsepower V-8 engine and a four-speed manual transmission, was no match for Michael Powell’s more powerful automatic 2015 Stingray.

Biden is not allowed to drive....and he certainly shouldn’t be in ordinary clothes.

Would love to see this reaction time to say a blowout or panic stop. Probably would take minutes. What's the possibility of a stand-in driver and some easily finagled video scenes?

Just another of his cars, this one worth $150K or so.

Plenty of room i the garages of his multimillion dollar homes.

Not bad for a guy who never made much more than a hundred thousand dollars a year.

But - more power to him, I guess. It’s a lovely car.

118 in a vette?

What’s the holdup? Move it, Gramps.

There’s NO way that this bumbling idiot drove a car that fast.

He gets LOST on his own front lawn…

I wouldn’t think that any NORMAL, ELECTED President would even be allowed to do such things.

If he DID do the driving, it could only be that his handlers are done and need to be rid of him.

“Seriously what is a demented 80 year old man doing driving a Corvette over 100 mph?”

He didn’t. That vette wouldn’t reach that speed in the quarter much less reach a hundred and slow back down in the less than thrvquarter mile length of that
“strip”.

“He wasn’t driving it that fast. Stunt man.”

No one was driving that fast. That “strip” is less than a quarter mile long and the have to slow back down in that distance. That vette won’t even do that in a regulation quarter mile.
