(Newser) – As Barack Obama upgrades to a customized Cadillac limo fit for a president, the 2005 Chrysler 300C he once drove around Illinois is up for sale on eBay. Bidding starts at $100,000, but eager fans can fork out $1 million to buy it immediately, Time reports. The seller bought the car from a dealer last year, after Obama swapped it for a Ford Escape Hybrid.

I hope Barack had explosive diarrhea while driving this car. That would serve the moron who buys this car right, and make me chuckle in the process.
