- Mr. President--

PRESIDENT BIDEN: This sucker's quick.

- How's it drive?

- How does it feel?

- Mr. President would you buy one of these?

PRESIDENT BIDEN: I would. I don't think anybody has a stopwatch. But I think if we're going 0 to 60 in about 4.3. 4.4?

- Right.

- Flat.

- Well, we haven't released it President but it's okay.

[CROSSTALK]

- Mr. President, how fast were you going?

- OK, I'm just going to step on it. I'll come off at 80 miles an hour. You'll see what it is, OK? Ready?

- Mr. President, can I ask you a quick question on Israel before you drive away?

PRESIDENT BIDEN: No, you can't. Not unless you get in front of the car as I step on it.

[LAUGHTER]

PRESIDENT BIDEN: I'm only teasing. OK, here we go. Ready?

- Set, sir.

PRESIDENT BIDEN: Ready.
