Pope To Drive Himself in Used Car

Thursday, 12 September 2013 | by Pat's Picks

There will be no pope-mobile. The Vatican has confirmed that Pope Francis plans to drive himself around in a used car. The New York Daily News says his security detail is “in a tizzy” about the plan. The car, an 1984 Renault, was a gift from a priest in northern Italy who used it to visit poor parishioners. At first, Pope Francis was reluctant to accept the gift, sources say, thinking it would be better if it went directly to the poor. But he was finally convinced that taking the car, which has 180,000 miles on it, would be acceptable.
