> 'Draft Biden' movement imagines vice president in Corvette
>
>
> Those hoping to draw Joe Biden into launching the 2016 presidential race are looking to rev up support by getting others to imagine the 72-year-old former senator driving a Corvette.
>
> Organizers behind the Draft Biden 2016 super-PAC have launched an online store around a "I'm ridin' with Biden" logo depicting the vice president sporting aviator sunglasses while behind the wheel.
>
> The logo was apparently stylized after the iconic "Hope" logo for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign and a Biden cameo shown at last year's White House Correspondents' Association dinner with HBO's "Veep" star Selina Meyer, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
>
> In the short video cameo <http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/entertainment/a7786/video-white-house-correspondents-dinner-joe-biden-with-julia-louis-dreyfus-in-c7-corvette-stingray/>, Biden rolls up to Meyer's White House in a yellow Corvette C7 Stingray sports car, prompting Louis-Dreyfus's character to ask, "Seriously? Yellow?"
> Biden, who proudly owns a restored 1967 Corvette despite not being allowed to drive because of his high-profile position, gushed about wanting to get <http://www.politico.com/story/2014/02/joe-biden-corvette-103169.html>a 2015 Corvette Stingray Z06 Supercar from "0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds" during a speech before the United Auto Workers last year.
> Draft Biden 2016's online store, which launched Wednesday, sells bumper stickers and other items emblazoned with the Biden car logo, including T-shirts and hoodies for dogs and baby body suits and bibs.
>
> The Biden logo "taps into his friendliness, why the voters love him," said William Pierce, organizing director of the group, which launched last month with "former staffers and campaign veterans."
>
> The group has 20,000 signatures toward their goal of 30,000 by the end of April for an online petition urging Biden to launch a 2016 White House bid, they said. They added that they plan to organize in early-voting Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
>
> Biden has so far not signaled he will challenge Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination in 2016, though he said earlier this year "there is a chance <http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/230207-biden-in-2016-there-is-a-chance>" he could run.
> Other liberal groups have tried to lure Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) into the Democratic race
