On his way out, a reporter asked him, "Who's your driver?" Romney responded, "I've got a lot of drivers I like. Thanks."

And the one who drives the Mrs. in her Escapade is a great fellow. And then there's good old Max, who helps out when he and Mrs. Romney investigate crimes just for a hobby... No wait, that last one was Hart to Hart. It's all very confusing.
