Remember When Porsche Race Cars Had An Engine In The Front?
Porsche was ready to kill off the 911 in the middle of the 1980s with an eye toward replacing it with the heavier and faster 928 grand tourer.

We have a headline about the new Popemobile this morning and it all it took was seeing “New po-” to make me think of the classic Canadian rock group The New Pornographers.

New Popemobile Is An Electric Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen, Just Like God Intended
The Pope has had a lot of cool and sometimes weird rides over the years, with Popemobiles ranging from Fiat Pandas and Mercedes-Benz MLs to Kia Souls and Jeep Wranglers.
