Mubarak's getaway car

There's a good chance that Tuesday will be the day Mubarak quits and flees the country.  So what will be his ride to the airport?  His official car, I believe, is a BMW 7 series.  However, no one has taken a picture of him with his car in Egypt in over a decade.  (Talk about paranoid.)  Hopefully, he's having one of the following cars detailed as we speak in preparation for tomorrow.  Here is a retrospective:

Here is Veep Mubarak with Sadat in a Cadillac.  This was taken on the day of Sadat's assassination (1981):

Here is American ally Hosni in an American Jeep (1987).  That guy in khaki is just expressing his love and appreciation for the dear leader:

Mubarak is seen here riding in his Merc Pullman Landaulet with his Saudi counterpart (1989):

Conservative W126 (1993):

Drab, but still awesome, W140 (1999):
