US President Barack Obama is spreading the TV love around. The world leader, who featured on a recent outdoor television episode with Bear Grylls in the Alaskan wilderness, will appear on Jerry Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee when the web series premieres later this month.

Unlike most, however, he parlayed his interest and skill behind the wheel into a career worthy of a screenplay.
Turning lessons learned on the track racing Corvettes, Guldstrand launched his own engineering firm in 1968 on California’s (in)famous Thunder Alley, constructing race cars and building hot street machines.
