FDR preferred Fords exclusively for his personal use. They were outfitted with hand controls to overcome his polio handicap.

Harry Truman loved to drive his Chrysler Imperial that was garaged at Shangri La and his wife would purportedly point at the speedometer when he was speeding.

Lyndon Johnson used to drive at high speeds in Texas while drinking.

I think the one who doesn't drive is Trump. Given he is a New Yorker I wonder if he even has a driver's license. I lived without a car for eight years. It's a great feeling. Walking to work is the ultimate care free existence. However, that was back when the subways were in decent shape and still had express trains. I also commuted into New York City on the old Pennsylvania high speed mainline. The track paralleled the turnpike and I used to look out the window when the train was travelling 110 mph and the traffic jams.

Fortunately, today I live in a town were I can walk to any number of businesses so when I get home for the weekend the car sits which is good because the roads are so broken down driving sucks.
