Pope's car for sale
A car once registered in the name of the Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger--now Pope Benedict XVI--is for sale on eBay. Bidding started at less than $13,000. Twenty-four hours later, it was over $1 million.

    That sure looks like fortyone thousand Euros to me.

    ATF is close, but no cigar.

    My guess: Who is a '47 Lincoln Cont. Coupe, V-12, only 200 made.

    Do I win, if so, when can I pick it up[?]
