        The narrowest J-turn was performed in a Renault Twingo, between barriers set 3.78 metres apart. The diagonal length of the car, 3.70 metres, meant stunt driver Terry Grant had a gap of 4 centimetres (1.6 in) on each side. This happened at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, UK, at the PistonHeads show on 11–13 January 2008.

      I didn't know all that about the president's car. When you need to start carrying bags of your blood type around, maybe the system has gone too far? Like, maybe in a functional system, the president should just be able to walk around normally?

        Yes but when Kim Jong Un walks among his people freely that's because of the cult of personality and totalitarian state, we Americans have the freedom to despise and hate our leaders that they're scared of us. /s
