New Pope Is A Ford Man

[Johnny O]

From the FB page of one of my cousins in Italy.

"DIFFONDI E CONDIVIDI-> Bella dentro e fuori "NIENTE AUTO DI LUSSO"... Papa Francesco questa mattina era salito su una comune Ford Focus in viaggio verso l'aeroporto di Ciampino per raggiungere Lampedusa...

Un uomo, una parola e un buon esempio. ♥

Grazie Grande Papa Francesco.''



Loosely translated:

"You spread And you Share - > Beautiful inside and out. "No Autos Of Luxury.".. Pope Francesco this morning climbed in a common Ford Focus in trip toward the airport of Ciampino to reach Lampedusa...

A man, a word and a good example. . Thanks Great Pope Francesco."

That Ford Focus looks a tad weird IMO. Such a small rearmost window; I wonder if the car is fortified. Also, please tell me that Ford has finally gotten rid of rear drums as from that picture I'm pretty darn sure that they're disc but I wouldn't wager anything on it.



I applaud the Pope's decision to practice what he preaches, giving up the fancy trappings afforded to a man in his position, but it does seem a bit unreal that the Pope is being transported in a Ford that is a step lower than my Ford Fusion.

Get's him where he's going all the same.

Meh, I've been to Rome. Traffic is heavy but it moves at a decent clip. It ain't Bammy's humongous limo but I'm betting it's bullet-proof.

Very unlikely to high center too.

Looks like the Pope Armor-Alls his tires too!

 

[Andy Chase]

Pope-moblie is still a Mercedes though......

Actually I thought of that. :bwahaha:
