RX8 v. Popemobile

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.



Any thoughts?

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

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

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.

no problem swoope. My first thought was RX8 vs.Oscar Meyer Wienermobile but then I realized that would just be too silly.

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.

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!


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 !
