Reason No. 68,784 to be Pope: Transportation in Style

Global Electric Motorcars (GEM), a subsidiary of DaimlerChrystler and Natuzzi (Italian white leather) have given Pope Benedict a nice little present for his behind-the-walls daily commute.

Wow, this gets me thinking: first red shoes and gucci sunglasses, then the return of the camauro and this as informal wear. At this point I'll admit I'm half waiting for dear Benny to pull out one of those white iPods at the next Wednesday audience. :-)

Frankly, when you think about it, an iPod might not be such a bad idea. I mean, those outdoor audiences must get monotonous sometimes ... and being the Pope, he would already know where he could find a good playlist.
