#30071 of 30166 Pope-mobile by ateixeira Apr 16, 2008 (9:58 am)
Just saw the Pope go by. Had a nice view from my window, he drove on Pennsylvania Ave right out front. More precisely, I should say I saw the Pope-mobile. Looked like a Benz ML-based one-off of some sort. Of course I'm up on the 10th floor so it's hard to say for sure. Note this is not the one he was in, this was a newer model ML, from what I could see.

Replying to: ateixeira (Apr 16, 2008 9:58 am) Hmm - interesting. According to a number of sources, there's no single popemobile. Typically during a papal visit, a domestically built popemobile is supplied for the duration. When JPII visited England, Land Rover supplied one and when he visited Canada, GMC supplied a modified Sierra which was also used when he visited Cuba. The MB is the one used at the Vatican as well as a Fiat or two and VW presented B16 with a modified Phaeton limousine in 2006.

Replying to: hypov (Apr 16, 2008 1:46 pm) It's hard enough to even get a glance when he's crawling along very slowly, imagine in a Ferrari! Replies to this message: robr2 (Apr 17, 2008 8:55 am) paisan (Apr 17, 2008 5:18 pm)

Replying to: ladywclass (Apr 15, 2008 4:21 am) Brenda, With all that's been happening lately, you can vent a bit here; it's perfectly understandable to fell bummed. One thing I learned from my folks when they were around and in the hospital - complaining means they're on the mend usually. Hope things get better. Wes - good luck with the job and the hours. Mark
#30076 of 30166 Re: Pope-mobile [ateixeira] by robr2 Apr 17, 2008 (8:55 am)
Replying to: ateixeira (Apr 16, 2008 1:48 pm) Well there's goes my theory of host country supplied popemobiles. Every picture and video I've seen has him in a modifed ML. As for a Ferrari, since the car typically crawls along at 10 mph it would be overkill IMHO. Replies to this message: paisan (Apr 17, 2008 5:18 pm)
#30077 of 30166 GPS on windshields by cptplt Apr 17, 2008 (9:56 am)
why do some states have laws saying you can't have anything stuck on the windshield? is it really a safety issue or just a round about way to make eg radar detectors illegal? Replies to this message: robr2 (Apr 17, 2008 10:09 am) ateixeira (Apr 17, 2008 10:56 am)

Replying to: cptplt (Apr 17, 2008 9:56 am) Safety issue - they don't anything to obstruct your vision of the road. IIRC, here in MA it's illegal to have anything hanging from the rearview mirror or any decals on the windshield other than your state inspection as well as it impedes your forward vision.
