If i saw it right, the hearse for Pope Francis's funeral was a modified DODGE RAM 1500.
When it backed up to the door of the basilica with the coffin the back, it looked like someone just made a run to the hardware store to pick up timber for fixing the benches.
Fire coming out the exhausts, custom firework launch racks, a gun safe filled with automatic weapons (probably), and the whole thing runs not on gas but only on fresh 100$ bills.
Obviously the pope's protective glass box is permanent, and must be slotted into the truck. The moment they decide you're pope, into the safety box you go.
(Theres a 40K\golden-throne joke in there somewhere but I'm feeling lazy today.)

In German, we call it Papamobil. Much more dignified

I think in Latin it's papa. In German, it's Papst which is close. Only the vehicle is Papamobil because Latin is more dignified i guess

Not Papstmobil?
lugal@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 1y
No, Papamobil from Latin papa. Very dignified

i mean, if the pope is afraid of dying and going to heaven; we're all screwed.

The American version would require a modified F350HD with a fork lift to get the Pope lifted into the back.
Edit: actually kind of hoping to see if they do that for am American tour when he visits Chicago and such

Makes sense, It's the most Italian pickup.
Wait no there should have been so many other options.

I never noticed that it changes from one country to another. I thought the Vatican just brought a ton of those and sent them before the Pope traveled.

I mean, "popemobile" really doesn't sound like a fancy or formal name for something.

What should we call it then ..... someone should ask the Internet to find a new name for the 'Popemobile'

You know it'll be something like "Mountain Dew Kampfy Ride" or some shit.

Ice-cream van? Hold on, it isn't. On an ice cream van it says "mind this child", on this one there is "I don't" before.
