The Pope has more wheels than me

CNS reports (from last year):

VATICAN CITY – The papal car fleet now has a new addition: a fully loaded, top-of-the-line, eight-cylinder sport utility vehicle.

Here at the age of 22 I still don't have a car and frankly, at this point, I think becoming Pope would be the easiest way of overcoming my interminable transportation issues.

Of course, I would even be willing to forego "papal white" as my interior leather color. It is interesting that the Pope would consent to the gift of an SUV which clocks only 15 miles per gallon for city driving (and I don't really foresee him taking many roadtrips out of the Vatican), but of course, all sources say that he prefers his electric golf cart for zipping around within the walls.

In any case, I'm sure he'll have this stowed safely in the glove compartment along with his proof of papal insurance.
