Reports broke Wednesday that Biden aides found another batch of classified documents.
However, the location of those documents wasn't disclosed to the public.
Until now!
Apparently, Biden kept classified documents in a Delaware garage next to his Corvette.
Yes, you read that right.
"Classified materials next to your Corvette?! What were you thinking?" Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy said to Joe Biden.
"My Corvette's in a locked garage so it's not like it's sitting on the street," Biden replied.
"So the material was in a locked garage?" Doocy asked.
"Yes— as well as my Corvette," Biden said.
Watch the exchange below:

ABC News provided further details:
The White House confirmed Thursday that more classified documents from President Joe Biden's time as vice president were found in the garage of his home in Wilmington, Delaware.
Asked about the discovery after remarks on the economy Thursday morning, Biden appeared to downplay the security risks.
"I’m gonna get a chance to speak on all this -- God willing -- soon. But as I said earlier this week, people, and by the way, my Corvette’s in a locked garage," Biden said. "So, it's not like it’s sitting on the street."
"But as I said earlier this week, people know I take classified documents and classified material seriously. I also said we're cooperating fully and completely with the Justice Department's review. As part of that process, my lawyers reviewed other places where documents in my -- from my time as vice president were stored and they finished the review last night," Biden continued, echoing an earlier White House statement. "They discovered a small number of documents with classified markings in storage areas and file cabinets in my home and my personal library."
"The Department of Justice was immediately notified, and the lawyers arranged for the Department of Justice to take possession of the documents," he said.
"Following the discovery of government documents at the Penn Biden Center in November 2022, and coordinating closely with the Department of Justice, the President's lawyers have searched the President’s Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, residences – the other locations where files from his Vice-Presidential office might have been shipped in the course of the 2017 transition. The lawyers completed that review last night," Richard Sauber, special counsel to Joe Biden, said in a statement.
"During the review, the lawyers discovered among personal and political papers a small number of additional Obama-Biden Administration records with classified markings. All but one of these documents were found in storage space in the President’s Wilmington residence garage," he said.
"One document consisting of one page was discovered among stored materials in an adjacent room."
