Depending on what it weighs in at I'd say in the straight line the holy ride would take the 8. In the "twisties" I'm sure the Mercedes would give the 8 a run for it's money. That is until it tips over. :cwm27:



Any thoughts?

LOL! Doesn't he look all high and mighty? Next Mod: 24"s

Ya, the Popemobile could use some bling

The popemobile is bulletproof. So it's got that going for it. Which is nice.

What kind of mileage does the Popemobile get?

what is the purpose of this popemobile...? if it's for security.. uh.. yeah.

The popemobile looks like a see-through-port-o-potty-mobile.

Did he bring it with him to the U.S.

That thing is awesome, lol.

I wish I had a popemobile to ride to work in.:(

Okay maybe just a shaunmobile. But something where I'm in a giant fishbowl and everyone looks at me.









Then I'd moon them.:bootyshak

im loving that pope decal.

Then I'd moon them.:bootyshak

funny. after reading your heading i was going to search for the wienermobile..

beers :beer:

Lol...

imagine the pope rollin in an 8!!! HOLY 8!!!

wonder what the glass is rated up to? think a 50 cal will go through it ^^

if it wouldnt, it would knock the car over. :lol:

His seat sure looks comfy....

The popemobile is here !

Im not a religious person ... so I dont understand why all these people have to cry and shit when they see that pope ... he is just a person like u & me ...

Human minds are weak. Thats what I have to say.

what is the purpose of this popemobile...? if it's for security.. uh.. yeah.

The U.S. paid for a few of them.

He was shot at here in the states, so our government bought him the first (bullet-proof) Popemobile. How is that for seperation of government and religion.

if it wouldnt, it would knock the car over. :lol:

No doubt.

Also, couldn't someone just toss a grenade in through the open section? I guess that security guy is ready to catch something like that...

Traveling Pope-a-Pottie FTW! :SHOCKED:


Probably built like a Striker and has some armor plating.......so the 8 might stand a chance at beating it.

Because there is a lot of *weak minds* in the states

if the pope dies for *insert reasons here* other than natural causes. They gonna go crazy.

My GF used to be a die hard Christian. After she knows me I just told her, life is short, lets say u have 80 yrs to live, why would u need someone to tell you whats right and wrong? going to church every sunday and read every single line in the bible not going to help anything. Do something more realistic and meaningful.

Now she is not so religious anymore. :)

Meh ... pope ....

Traffic is going to be *crazy* this saturday in NYC ...

Oh btw, this popemobile can pwn Rx8 like nothing ... lol !

^

:FIREdevil :FIREdevil it's the Devil trying to recruit more pawns...:FIREdevil :FIREdevil

lol

DO NOT let this degrade into some separation of C&S thread or in a religious thread. Take it for what it's worth, just some dude with a bitchin mobile glass toilet. :mad:

to me everyone has an (insertnamehere)mobile until they tint their rides jaja. Un-tinted cars to me look like fishbowls.

Even our President does not have something like that !!!!! (I hate Bush, btw)

Who is more important now ? President or Pope ? :SHOCKED: :SHOCKED: :SHOCKED:




Maz .... u better be sure that no crazy ppl see your *bitchin mobile glass toilet* .... lol

With the blue tinted windows it looks like a dunk tank. Who dunked the pope? :eek:

The local news had a segment on the popemobile, and said it was shipped from Vatican City. They also said if necessary it can go from 0-60 in 7 seconds, though I doubt they brought it to the strip to test it out.

mercedes probably did. i dont think i'd want to be up that high near open windows with no seat belt if that thing decides to go.

also, im thinking 4 spoke (cross, lol) 22" gold rims.

yes. gold. solid gold.

that'd be pimpin. he'd get a lot more recruits for his organization that way.

I believe the Popemobile came about after some nutball Muslim shot Pope JP II. But JP survived and went on to forgive the shooter who was and is still held at a prison somewhere. :eyetwitch

I'll be in NYC tomorrow for work practically all day. The one thing i'm not looking forward to is 800 million people on the subway. They are also closing down roads on Madison Ave from the world trade center up to St. Pat's church where he'll do Mass I believe.


Though it would be bad ass to see the Pope Mobile on Volks. What better way to promote world peace than with a pair of Rays Forged wheels and red lugnuts.


EDIT: I'll try to get an rx8club.com bumper sticker on the car and take a pic

the pope leads more people than the president (remember the US isnt the centre of the universe :-P)

That would be great! Do it.........you'd be my all time hero!

I was supposed to be in DC this week and shit like that always screws up traffic big time. Last time was Fords funeral and they had all kinda crap messed up. Took forever to get anywhere.

Well................that would be extremely interesting now wouldn't it! :lol:

Perverts would be in there jacking off at the ladies though.


Did I just use the term "jacking off" in a Pope thread? :banghead:

I don't know if I would feel comfortable using that... :) Plus I would be afraid a car would not see it and try to park there or something...

You have sinned, my son. Two Hail Mary's, One Our Father...

Good thing I'm not Catholic or I'd be smokin a turd in purgatory for that one! :lol:

I think the Pope is also less offensive than our President so if I had to choose who I would give the Popemobile to I would rather give it to the Pope.

I find it kind of sad that a pope (or any religious figure) would need that kind of protection.

And IIRC, wasn't it a Muslim Turk that shot JP II and that's why the popemobile got created?

Why should it be a german car maker instead of say something local like Ferrari that should be supplying the Popemobile? Pope Benny's country of origin not withstanding.

The popemobile is here !

i might have popemobile envey. :lol:

Subway pack, roads are closed ... shitz.

Question 1. The benz running s-techs?
Question 2. What on earth is that guy in the suit going to do if the pope gets bumrushed?

I think that's a robot.

wonder what the glass is rated up to? think a 50 cal will go through it ^^

.50 BMG will go through both engine and cinder blocks. What makes you think anything is rated to stop it?

can water stop it?? I saw an episode of Mythbusters where no bullet penetrated the water enough to actually hit the target submerged in the water

I saw on the tv show on history channel I forgot what it was called, maybe Modern Marvels? Anyway, they were saying how the 50cal sniper rifle can take down an airplane, and they were purchasable at a local gunshop..it was pretty weird nonetheless.

The popemobile looks like a see-through-port-o-potty-mobile.

lmao it does look like a see-through-port-opotty:lol:

I wish I had a popemobile to ride to work in.:(

...


I think Janis Joplin first said that!

"Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?"

so the pope would be safer if it was a dunk tank!:)

'Cause they actually wanted to use it instead of having it sit in the shop?
