The pontiff later drove it. Known for his humble lifestyle, Francis said he used to drive the same car in his native Argentina. In a bid to encourage austerity in the Church, the Pope has urged officials to avoid using expensive limousines.[/quote] [quote]"What better than my old Renault 4?" he asked.[/quote] [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-24036965]**BEEP BEEP**[/url] Swagmaster Francis.
I fuckin' love Renault 4's, only beaten by Fiat 500's.
Pimp my popemobile.
It's great what he's encouraging and going the step further to lead by example.

I love small cars over huge cars, they are so easier to drive and handle. I always feel like I'm going to hit something in my families sedan but when I drive my Dad's hatchback it just handles better

[quote] The BBC's David Willey in Rome says the Pope's bodyguards were amazed when he took the keys and drove off. [/quote] what a fucking baller
[QUOTE=Pawnstick;42151289]what a fucking baller[/QUOTE] He damn well knows that with his record he has almost no reason to hide behind bulletproof glass. Mind you, I'm trying to imagine stopping at a light and the pope rolls up beside you. :v:

The current pope has to be the most popular fascist junta collaborator ever.
[QUOTE=butre;42151406]if he's driving a renault 4 I don't think it would be hard to win[/QUOTE] Yeah, but he's got God on his side, that's borderline cheating

[QUOTE=Oink92;42151902]Or just let jesus take the wheel[/QUOTE] He'd just keep it as payment for all the miracles he's done.
Well it's nice to see they did away with this monstrosity. [IMG]http://b5media_b4.s3.amazonaws.com/28/files/2008/03/popemobile.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01926/2206POPE-mobile-on_1926461b.jpg[/IMG]

Welp...guess he's not going very far.
I never did get the idea behind the bulletproof popemobile - surely if he died it would have been god's will?

OH how I hate that car... But good on him, that thing is very cheap.
Man, Pope Francis is awesome. I love some of the messages he's trying to send out to people.
[QUOTE=Noss;42152106]I never did get the idea behind the bulletproof popemobile - surely if he died it would have been god's will?[/QUOTE] Providence, providence. And you can see it this way: The popemobile is god's will. [QUOTE]The current pope has to be the most popular fascist junta collaborator ever. [/QUOTE] Oh, you too fell for what Verbitsky said?
I guess he realizes that there's no reason anyone would want to kill him, so he's living pretty much like he did before he became pope. That's cool. I just like how he's so humble, doesn't act all full of himself like Popeatine did.
