After the brouhaha over Sen. John McCain's struggle to recall how many houses he owns, Newsweek wondered how many cars might be parked at the presidential candidate's multiple homes.
The weekly newsmagazine checked vehicle registration records for both McCain and Sen. Barack Obama and found that when you include the candidates' spouses, McCain owns 13 cars, Obama 1.
McCain has a 2004 Cadillac CTS, a 2007 half-ton Ford pickup truck, a 1960 Willys Jeep, a 2008 Jeep Wranger among other American cars. He's got a few foreign vehicles in his fleet as well, owning a 2005 Volkswagen convertible and a 2001 Honda sedan.
The only vehicle registered in Obama's name is a 2008 Ford Escape hybrid.

The readers' comments below the story are a hoot. I recommend you give them a look.
abc is loaded with rocket scientists. You can’t get anything by those boys.
So from this we can ascertain that John McCain strongly supports Michigan’s auto-industry, while 0bama does not.
Barry’s runs on cow manure.
Michelle and the girls apparently use public transportation
yup SS limos with body guards paid for by you and me
MSM death march continues......
Obama’s other cars are probably registered in Tony Rezko’s name.
I think we have 6 plus a “tractor”
My brother-in-law owns 2 pick-ups and 5 vintage cars.
Question to ABC: So?
The Obama use Federal cars,drivers,escorts
The McCains drive themselves...they do have 4 kids that drive.....Nice try ABC
Uhh, that is exactly the same argument we derided when made by the Kerry campaign.
Ok, so McCain is 13 times more out of touch than Obama.
We own 3 and a Motorcycle!! My husband counts his lawn mower he put style in mowing!
>>McCain really owns only two cars.
I also have two cars. Newsweek is showing their anti-capitalism stripes. Remember when we used to celebrate people doing well?
But if you are a community organizer - maybe you ride a bike.
My husband and I own 6 cars, and our wealth is closer to Joe Biden’s than Obama’s. He just buys classics on the cheap so he can restore them. I use public transit on my commute.

I don’t give a flying camel how many cars are in John McCain’s garage, nor do I care how many cars are in what’s-his-name’s garage.
I want to know, how I, family members, and friends, are gonna pay for the gasoline to put in OUR cars if Barry becomes President of the United States, and/or the Congress-critters REALLY don’t try to drill. (selfish of me, isn’t it?)
oops my bad. Sorry for the triple.
