Online auction junkies could tear a page out of Ferris Bueller’s playbook with a unique eBay opportunity this week: Pony up a million bucks and you’ll hold the reins of all the horsepower of the Chrysler Saloon President Barack Obama used to lease. The joyride to rival Bueller’s could cost you more before the auction ends Wednesday, as the $1 million is just the starting bid. On the other hand, nobody had bitten by Monday afternoon, so maybe the price could come down. According to the seller, Obama leased the gas-guzzler from 2004 through 2007 before trading up to a hybrid. “We have the original Illinois title showing this vehicle was actually used by Barack,” Chicagoland’s cubfanatic23 writes. “I’m sure many of them were highway miles back and forth from Chicago to Springfield since Barack was an Illinois State Senator during 2004. He [was elected] to the U.S. Senate in November of 2004 and perhaps drove the car in Washington, D.C., and back to Chicago from 2005 to 2006.” Well, if so, he couldn’t have done that too many times, because the ad touts the mileage as being a mere 20,800. The seller’s ad lauds the fact that interested bidders will be provided with the car’s title scan. “A copy of the title showing the vehicle was in his name is now added to the photo section. This Chrysler was put into Obama’s name on July 13, 2004, when the vehicle had two miles on it,” the listing reads.

Its amazing what a cool million will buy. An old car, and 10 kilos of coke.
He has a driver’s license?
Here’s the eBay ad.
Mods please fix the double title.
Also, I enjoyed this part:
The seller goes on to justify the steep cost, noting that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s Peugeot claimed 1.5 million euros at auction, while Adolf Hitler’s convertible blue Mercedes fetched $8 million.

Another scanned document. No thanks.
Don’t be surprised if the buyer is anonymous...I just know this is some kind of a scam...basically Obama advertisement.
How many guys did Obama “get” in the backseats?? Enquiring minds want to know.
Perhaps some of Larry Sinclairs DNA can still be found in the backseat.
There’s a sucker born every minute, we will see if one shows up.
Meantime I have $100 dollars I would buy it for and make a lowrider out of it.
There’s an A55 for every seat.

Obama paid late parking tickets
Racked up penalties while at Harvard
Barack Obama received 17 parking tickets in Cambridge.
By David Abel, Globe Staff | March 8, 2007
Barack Obama is no longer a scofflaw, at least in Cambridge and Somerville.
Two weeks before the US senator from Illinois launched his presidential campaign, he paid parking tickets he received while attending Harvard Law School, officials said yesterday.
Obama received 17 parking tickets in Cambridge between 1988 and 1991, according to the city’s Traffic, Parking & Transportation Department.
Of those tickets, he paid only two while he was a student and paid them late, said Susan Clippinger, the office’s director.
In January, about when the Globe began asking local officials about Obama’s time at Harvard, including any violations of local laws, someone representing the senator called the parking office to inquire about the decades-old tickets.
On Jan. 26, the remaining $375 in fines and fees were paid by credit card using the city’s website, Clippinger said. She said she didn’t know who paid them.
“I think it’s fabulous he finally paid them,” Clippinger said by phone yesterday. “I think others who owe us money should pay us, too.”
Jen Psaki, a spokeswoman for the Obama campaign, said last night that the senator paid for the tickets out of a personal account.
She would not comment on why it had taken him so long to pay the tickets and fees. “All I can do is confirm that he paid all the tickets and late fees in full,” she said.
Clippinger said her records show that Obama received the tickets between Oct. 5, 1988, and Jan. 12, 1990, for violations including parking in a resident-only area, blocking a bus stop, and failing to put money in meters.
He received most of the tickets in fall 1988, in his first year at Harvard Law School, a grueling trial for many of the students. A meter violation then cost only $5; the penalty for not paying promptly tacked on another $15. At times, he received multiple tickets in the same day for exceeding the time limit at a meter.
In total, he incurred $140 in fines and $260 in late fees. In February 1990, he paid two of the tickets, one for $10 and the other for $15.
“He’s certainly not our worst ticket scofflaw,” Clippinger said. “Unfortunately, it’s not that abnormal. It’s actually pretty run of the mill.”
Obama’s payment of the Cambridge tickets was reported yesterday by The Somerville News.
The Globe reported in January that in Somerville, where Obama lived while attending Harvard, the senator still owed the city $73 in excise taxes and $45 in late penalties for parking in a bus stop in 1990 and in a street-sweeping zone in 1991. Both of the tickets had been paid.
Tom Champion, a spokesman for the city of Somerville, said he called Obama’s office after receiving a query about the late fees from the Globe in late January.
By the next Monday, Jan. 29, he said, the penalties were paid.
“He had no idea he had outstanding charges,” Champion said. “The Globe, by raising the issue, called it to his attention, and then he paid them immediately.”
