An excerpt from the Jay Leno show where Leno was interviewing Cindy McCain is at 1:44 to 2:15
Jay Leno: ""If he was elected president, he would be the only president ever to do a burnout in my Corvette ..."
Cindy McCain: "He's, he's not the best of drivers either, I drive most of the time."

Chris Matthews' comment: "Not good at driving? Hmm, come on now, I heard the man flew navy jets over North Vietnam and he can't drive a car?"
a youtube comment: "He crashed a bunch of those jets too."

http://www.vietnamveteransagainstjohnmccain.com/cin_mccain_lost_five_u.htmDuring his relative short stunt on flight status, McCain III lost five U.S. Navy aircraft, four in accidents and one in combat.
Robert Timberg, author of The Nightingale's Song, a book about Annapolis graduates and their tours in Vietnam, wrote that McCain "learned to fly at Pensacola, though his performance was below par, at best good enough to get by. He liked flying, but didn't love it."
McCain III lost jet number one in 1958 when he plunged into Corpus Christi Bay while practicing landings. He was knocked unconscious by the impact coming to as the plane settled to the bottom.
McCain's second crash occurred while he was deployed in the Mediterranean. "Flying too low over the Iberian Peninsula," Timberg wrote, "he took out some power lines which led to a spate of newspaper stories in which he was predictably identified as the son of an admiral."
McCain's third crash three occurred when he was returning from flying a Navy trainer solo to Philadelphia for an Army-Navy football game.
