This final note today, a few facts about the Pope. Pope Benedict XVI is going to leave behind a few perks he had on the job. For one, his new Popemobile: A Mercedes-Benz Modified M Class crossover in papel white. The basic model goes for anywhere from about $50,000 to over $100,000. But the Popemobile itself is believed to have been donated to the Vatican.
Pope Benedict doesn’t know how to drive. Never got a driver’s license. But he does apparently have a helicopter pilot’s license and even likes to fly the papal helicopter. Who knew they had one of those?
