The Popemobile

I read somewhere recently that a used Popemobile was sold in Europe to a private individual. I had thought there was only one Popemobile but it turns out they’re all over. (I bet Cuba has one built on a ’58 Chevy.) The Popemobile of course is that vehicle with the bullet proof glass shower stall built on the back for the pope to ride in. He sits in there and waves to people. One of its features is that it can typically go up to 160 MPH.

So yeah, I think it’d be cool to own a Popemobile. I can think of many uses for it:

1.       Pace car for the Indianapolis 500. No one would cheat ‘cause, well, it’s the Popemobile.

2.       Political candidates driving around town – good exposure. People would take notice.

3.       Homecoming parades – You gonna vote against the Popemobile?

4.       Speeding – No cop’s gonna pull over a Popemobile!

5.       Toll free driving – See #4

6.       Food Truck Communion

7.       Uber – pick people up and drive around really fast ‘cause you know you won’t get pulled over.

You’d make all the lights. It’s the Popemobile.
