I'm in for ten as soon as someone finds out if he can accept it :)

You'd let Biden drive a car?

Why would anyone let Vice President Bath Salts behind the wheel of a car?

physt: Could he event accept such a gift?

Yes, and then auction it for charity immediately (after getting an actual shirtless photo like the Onion p-shopped one).

Seriously, this is all fun and games, but let's make this sh*t happen for realz.

Politicians are banned from accepting gifts in certain circumstances. Someone might want to check if Biden could legally accept the transam before raising money to get him one.

I doubt he could accept it if you did manage to do this. Prohibitions against government officials accepting gifts over a certain amount, etc. He might ask or direct that it be donated to some other cause or charity to be auctioned off, though.

Hack Patooey: @RichieLaw: How about something like:

The Internet wishes to express how awesome Joe Biden is. What better way to show this then to present him with a vintage Trans Am, and make one of the coolest internet memes come true.

support this cause, blah blah blah...

I actually had that as one of the perks. It would be for $0 but says, "Knowledge that you contributed to making an internet meme come true."

tricycleracer: BAMFinator: As part of the 1%, Biden can buy his own damn TransAm.

No reason to think Biden would keep it. I'd imagine the Vice Presidential TransAm would feature in a few good-natured photo-ops and then be auctioned off for charity.

I'm in for $10; I hope an enterprising individual is taking down names since half of us will forget after tonight.

We should find out what charities Joe supports (or his wife Jill) and set it up that way with a clear intent rather than trying to divert the car to the charity after the fact.

This. Even if he can't accept it, some good could come from it.

Biden is one of the lowest net worth congress critters

Pantubo: You'd let Biden drive a car?

It's scientifically impossible to distinguish a person on bath salts from the average Beltway driver.

it has to be the redneck camaro/trans am: at least three different colors, bondo in spots, duct tape on seats, colored cellophane tape for taillights, one of the doors won't open, mismatched rims and a tape deck with an Iron Maiden tape stuck in it on play.

He must also use some version of the phrase "i'm workin on fixin her up"

Can anyone think of any other perks?

I didn't watch the stage-managed bullshiatfest, but I gather Biden was douchey enough to make it a competitive douche-off. I mean, if the other team brings the extra-strength douche like Romney did last time, you gotta bring some of your own, otherwise, they douche all over you and make you look weak.

This suggests an awesome web video someone needs to make now: The Professor and the Douche.

Obama and Biden ride around the country in Biden's Trans-Am. Obama bores people with detailed explanations of his policies while Biden mugs and hits on all the ladies.

BAMFinator: As part of the 1%, Biden can buy his own damn TransAm.

Yes - but if WE buy him one, we can reasonably demand that he drive it all the time.

Like a boss

lol, what we need are great perks...

$10 - Joe Biden will slam a Coors Light in your honor (not really, but we can pretend).

I like it.

Cyclometh: Sometimes you should do something because it's awesome or feels good, not because it's practical.

The Democratic platform right there.

Pantubo: You'd let Biden drive a car?

make it happen and show me the link to donate Fark

Perk $5: Knowledge that you contributed to making an internet meme come true.

Perk $10: Joe Biden will slam a Coor's Lite in your honor while ripping the sleeves off of his button-down. (Need a description) - Was thinking of, "Not really, but if there is enough interest, maybe we can convince Uncle Joe to chug a beer in your honor. Pictures to be posted all over the internet, of course."

Any more?

Hack Patooey: Found a white one

Holy shiat, that's the exact one. Seller is only asking like $13K. Alright Farkers, let's get it done. Who has the donation site set up and where? Let's discuss.

Cyclometh: Hm, how about this one, Richie:


All donors will have their names added to a card sent along with the vehicle to the Vice President?

I like that! Added to the $5 perk.

mr lawson: Cyclometh: Sometimes you should do something because it's awesome or feels good, not because it's practical.

The Democratic platform right there.

That's nice, go along and go deny some rights to people, we're too busy for your tri-color patriot eagle tears.

Cyclometh: Run along now, the adults Kids are having fun.


No...this is how KIDS think and act. Not adults

coeyagi: we're too busy for your tri-color patriot eagle tears.

Libertarian here...not too big on jingoistic crap.

mr lawson: No...this is how KIDS think and act. Not adults

Want one of us to donate something to you as well? A tube of Preparation H, perhaps?

I've got a mint-condition '01 TA WS 6 package that I'll let go for $15K, just for Biden. He'll have to pick it up, though.

I've got one for sale. '86 TA, 305 V8, carbureted, red with silver rocker trim, 53K miles, garaged its whole life. For sale for $6000...

mr lawson: No...this is how KIDS think and act. Not adults

So should we state the Republican platform as "the freedom to do whatever you want, as long as it's something I approve of"? Unlike your example it's both relevant and true.

mr lawson: Cyclometh: Run along now, the adults Kids are having fun.


No...this is how KIDS think and act. Not adults

So what you're saying is, the GOP is all adult-oriented. Like whining about how individual liberties should be preserved while prosecuting people who want to control their bodies.

Sounds pretty childish to me, Trisomy 21 guy.

coeyagi: We should find out what charities Joe supports (or his wife Jill) and set it up that way with a clear intent rather than trying to divert the car to the charity after the fact.

Oh, and I really like this idea, too. Both awesome and practical.

\all choked up for ya

I have the amount for $25k. Enough to purchase the car, pay applicable taxes and then transport it wherever it needs to go.

Also. Short description has been updated:

Help us raise $25 thousand dollars to buy Joe Biden a gift from the American people as awesome as he is... a vintage Pontiac Trans Am.

Now, if for some reason this awesome gift is too awesome for pesky laws and other unknown political reasons and Uncle Joe has to remain Trans Am-less, the internet will still purchase the car and auction it off.

All proceeds will go to benefit the Biden Breast Health Initiative.

Why not a biatchin' Camaro?

mr lawson: No...this is how KIDS think and act. Not adults

Clearly.

Because you said so.

See recent post. I was about 5 minutes ahead of you. :)

BAMFinator: As part of the 1%, Biden can buy his own damn TransAm.

This. (In before the Fark Democrat brigade says "SO VOTE REPUBLICAN!").

How about donating that money to charity instead? Or even NASA?
