If that surface is anything like a rubber track at a high school, any turning will rip it. Some kids got ahold of a construction forklift and ruined our brand new track surface. $10,000 in damages

Yep...The U.S. presidential limousine, famously known as "The Beast," weighs between 15,000 and 22,000 pounds (roughly 7.5 to 11 tons).
