Vice President and car spot conspiracy theorist JD Vance is successful Italy correct now to watch the Winter Olympics successful each their penis-aerodnamics glory. Maybe all those booing fans astatine nan opening ceremonies person him rattled, though, because Vance has reportedly been refusing to recreation done nan tight streets of Milan without his affectional support motorcade: A statement of astatine slightest 45 vehicles dedicated to his information and comfort. Italy's known for its broad, unfastened streets and minimal traffic, right?

Residents and visitors successful Milan person captured Vance's motorcade connected video, and it's a genuinely staggering assembly of vehicles. So many, successful fact, that it's made Olympic athletes — y'know, nan group who really request to beryllium successful attendance — nearly miss their ain events. The highest-quality signaling circulating astir has a spread successful nan middle, making it intolerable to show which vehicles walk successful nan interim, but nan footage shows astatine slightest 45 different vehicles.

Those vehicles are:

• 17 Yamaha Tracer 7 motorcycles
• One BMW F700GS motorcycle
• Nine Alfa Romeo Stelvios
• One Ford Transit 
• Nine Chevy Suburbans
• One T6 Volkswagen Transporter
• Four Mercedes-Benz Metris vans
• One Land Rover Range Rover
• One Ford F-Series armored-looking motortruck (possibly a SWAT-style bearer vehicle)
• One Toyota Land Cruiser

The vehicles look to beryllium a operation of Italian and American, and that's not conscionable successful their state of manufacture. Vance's squad has denied nan rumor that it carried an full level of nutrient to Italy, but it notably didn't contradict bringing vehicles for nan motorcade — those Suburbans, adorned pinch nan reddish and bluish lights of American constabulary alternatively than nan blue and achromatic of European cops, are apt vehicles Vance brought from home. 

That makes Vance's motorcade each nan much absurd, arsenic it appears to beryllium a operation of 2 abstracted motorcades some designed to guarantee nan information of a walking VIP. Vance could apt person simply taken an Italian conveyance from his edifice to nan Olympic events he's attending, but he decided he needed his large cozy American SUVs too. Like a kid pinch a fortunate blanket, it seems Vance is unwilling to springiness up that comfortableness of location erstwhile he travels.
