27 Uparmored Black Suburbans™ and a Pope in a Fiat.

You gotta love this guy!




edit: For the record, 27 was just a made up number. I am not sure of the Suburbans are uparmored, but I would bet anything at least a few of them are.

Suburbans, troops, all kinds of security aside, I bet the Pope would just as soon do away with that and continue his plans without all the scary stuff.

Knew he was going to hell anyway and wanted to be at the head of the line.

Old (and bad joke), but he has to have that security.

And yep-I bet this Pope would rather be cruising in his own old jalopy I'm not Catholic, but I love this Pope!

I thought it was supposed to be a jeep wrangler. Fiat is owned by chrysler, so maybe they switched it.

Either way they are generally made in advance and were probably delivered to the secret service a few weeks ago.

That motorcade was outrageously funny.

Makes you wonder how many armored Suburbans do we own? There was a motorcade for the VP, the Prez and the Pope.

The breathless coverage on channel 7 is hilarious too.
