Light Fun: The Renault 4L Pope Mobile

From the keyboard of Mark Collins in this morning’s Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, brief mention of the Shroud of Turin as in a ‘my mechanic’s rag looks like’ kind of thing. Others than that, mildly humorous:

I was surprised by your choice of car (a 29-year-old Renault 4L for il Pape?), and even more surprised that you chose Luigi’s for your service needs. Thank you for this honor. It has 186,000 miles?! A miracle!

As you noted, there seems to be a small overheating problem. Although white smoke is good in your line of work, it’s not so good for a Renault. Of course we will solve this issue and I’ll return the car promptly. Of course no charge.
